Italian folk/rock group Bandabardó got involved in the local scene in the early '90s, mostly playing acoustic tunes based on inspiring lyrics about positivism. Formed by singer/songwriter Enrico Erriquez Greppi and guitarist A.M. Finaz, the band was later joined by percussionist Paolino, bassist Don Bachi, guitarist Andrea Orlandini, also known as Orla, and C.C. Cantini. After issuing an EP in 1994, Bandabardó's debut album, called Il Circo Mangione, was released in 1996, followed by 1998's Iniziali: Bi Bi, 1999's Barbaro Tour, and 2000's Mojito Football Club. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
