FRAMED SATELLITE/ MUSIC: Banda Magda, ART: Noga Shtainer

About

Even if you don’t speak any of the 6 languages they sing in, you are still transported into beautiful imagery with tales of love and devotion, as strong as the bonds between the band’s diverse musicians. (Greece, Japan, Argentina, USA, Colombia, Brazil, Turkey, Israel, UK)

Led by firecracker performer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Magda Giannikou, Banda Magda is a community; their camaraderie shining with cross-pollinating melody and rhythm.  The rotating madcap fellowship has traveled to more than 22 countries in 5 continents combining whirlwind tours of music, invigorating transformative workshops and magical interactive moments led by Magda’s uncanny ability to engage the audience.  In this intimate and open-minded room, the band will present music from their new project [working title "Tessera"] : a Tetralogy of albums dedicated to the beauty of the changing seasons in the natural world and how they are shifting. Through a collection of original music and re-imagined folk songs with a strong connection to nature, we hope to connect with the audience while at the same time raising awareness to the environmental crisis and how we can all help to heal the damage we do to the natural world.
