Mid Summer Madness
We are happy to that we are now running the latest version of WordPress. And as usual the lovely folk in the WordPress community kept us on the right track. As well as running new software on our website Banda Bacana is enjoying the summer!
We’ve been invited to play at some lovely events. Botanical Beats in Treborth Botanical Gardens was great! As usual the event was a colourful mix of music, food, art and crafts with a lovely friendly vibe, raising money and awareness about the Gardens and the work that goes on there. The photo above is taken by Edyta of Emagine Pictures. See more of Emagine’s wonderful photos of botanical beats on Facebook Another highlight was our first foray down the Conwy Valley bringing Afro Latin dance grooves to Trefriw Village Hall. Great night, great crowd! We’d love to go back and play there!
Festival season is upon us. And you may find the BBs at a wedding, party or beach near you! Check out our Myspace or connect with us on Facebook for up to date info 🙂

Bacana Lovies!
Sunday’s Launch was a blast! Thanks to all our friends, fans and families for coming along, dressing up and getting down. We had a fantastic day, bringing sunshine to a stormy sunday. Here are a few kind words from some of our more voluble supporters:
Just like to say how much everyone I was with enjoyed Sunday. It was a lovely atmosphere and great entertainment.Best wishes, Viv
I have just listened to ‘Bandabacana’: it’s great! I’ve been playing music (albeit in a ceilidh band) for 45 years, and listened to many albums and this is one of the best. It cheered me up driving to work, and that’s a real achievement. Bright, uplifting, unique and brilliantly produced, the world needs to hear it. Congratulations to you all. Barry (Dalton) Mooncoin
Cds arrived safely and what a cracker the Banda Bacana is! Craig
