Manu da Banda
NEW ZELAND TOUR 2010------ Manu "da" Banda--- Worldbeat latin music--- Passionate traveller - from town to town; itinerant musician - from band to band.... Initially, percusionist of afro and afro-latin rythms... Later, guitarrist, singer and songwriter..... These are the origins of Manu da Banda.... The unique proposition that I bring wherever I go, allowing me to produce a band without other resources than myself and my instruments (voice, guitar, cuatro and pedals in both feet). - Manu “da” Banda is also an open invitation to other musicians, soulmates during segments of my journey, to form part of the band. Each new contribution makes the performance stronger, providing unique textures and flavors, such that depending on the participants, the resulting musical proposition will necessarily change..- The Manu da Banda songs have harmonic simplicity and great swing, where folk, rock, cumbia and reggae are incorporated and filtered through the Latin roots of the project. We also include a compilation of popular songs from the Latin folklore featured with the band..s unique style. From this starting point, rich sonorities are incorporated, full of metaphoric contents based on personal experiences of letting go, of departing or arriving.... Those rich experiences gained while continuously searching and travelling, that sometimes leave deep and permanent scars.
