A ORKESTRA BANDIDA é um grupo ligado à Fundação Tarab, formado por músicos multi-instrumentistas, estudiosos e pesquisadores da música cigana oriental, especialmente do Fasil, um estilo desenvolvido pelos ciganos do oriente nas boates, cabarés e festas.

Através de uma instrumentação peculiar que inclui alaúde, saz, clarinetes, flauta ney, kaval, violão manouche, rabeca, percussão oriental e contra-baixo, do acústico ao elétrico, a ORKESTRA BANDIDA se utiliza da linguagem dos Maqams (escalas orientais) e de ritmos impares como o Karsilama, além de ir fundo no sistema dos quartos de tom.

Fundindo a espontaneidade da musica regional brasileira, que encontra em ritmos como o Halij uma singularidade e um parentesco únicos, a ORKESTRA BANDIDA convida todos para uma viajem ao universo gypsy com muito bom humor e musicalidade.

Liderada pelo multi-intrumentista Mário Aphonso III, o grupo prepara o seu repertório inspirado na riqueza e variedade do Fasil, uma música de forte influência árabe, praticada principalmente pelos ciganos da Turquia, mas também transitando pelas velhas tabernas e cabarés do Egito, Síria, Grécia, Macedônia e muito mais!

A BANDA:

Mario Aphonso III - Ney, Nay, Kaval, Clarinet, and Turkish Metal Clarinet.
