Biography: Banda Magda is an American band formed in New York, who has an international group of musicians, including some fellow Berklee College alumni. Their multilingual music is influenced by Latin American styles (such as samba), French chansons and Greek folk music. The band's 2013 album Amour t'est la?, peaked 9# on the Billboard's Top World Music Albums chart.

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.

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)
