LaBrassBanda
LaBrassBanda is a Balkan Brass Band originating from Übersee (Chiemgau), near Chiemsee, Bavaria, Germany. The name of the band is a portmanteau of the Italian word "la banda" and the English term "brass band", both meaning the same.[1]
History of the band
The band started in 2007. It became well known thanks to their tour from home town to the final match of the UEFA 2008 in Vienna. They ended the tour with mopeds, performing from a tractor with a trailer in public concert.[2][3][4] In 2009 the band was invited by the Goethe-Institut to take part in the German Culture Festival sibSTANCIJA_09 in Nowosibirsk and Akademgorodok. There were further concerts in Omsk, Krasnojarsk and Moskau[5] In the same year LaBrassBanda appeared in the Harare International Festival of Arts in Simbabwe, organized by the German Embassy and the Zimbabwe German Society,[6] [7] and in the Roskilde Festival.[8]
In 2010 LaBrassBanda played in the Southside Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck and the sister festival in North-Germany Hurricane in Scheeßel.[9]
