Bandua takes popular songs from Portugal’s Beira Baixa region and gives them an electronic folk reinterpretation. The band was conceived by the eclectic musician and producer, Bernardo Addario (Tempura the Purple Boy) and featuring the Portuguese singer and musician, Edgar Valente (Criatura). It represents the first time that these sounds and songs are being reused and shaped into a melancholic electronic-pop album sung in Portuguese. The band’s first LP, featuring nine songs, was described by the Público newspaper’s Ípsilon section as “an amazing work” that questions “notions of territory, spirituality and community”.
