On the 120th anniversary of the Banda Municipal de Machico (Machico’s municipal band) there is, amongst other events, a march through the main roads of the town by the band accompanied by two others: Santana’s and Camara de Lobos’. Starting at 15h00 the sounds of many players will converge towards the Solar do Ribeirinho, where the regional bands’ gathering is to take place.

The Banda Municipal de Machico is made out of 45 members on its main team, the philharmonic, but it also has learning echelons, like the Escola da Banda, with almost 30 members, the youth band, with twenty, some of them coming from the Escola da Banda, and there’s also the Tuna de Cantares, more geared towards Portuguese popular music, and in this case made out mainly of traditional Madeiran instruments. They also have a school, so it’s more than a hundred people who go through their headquarters, the Casa da Música, every week.

Don’t miss the bands gathering, next Sunday, at 3.
