BANDULU DUB BIOGRAFIA

Bandulu Dub is a project who was born in Vila de Prado, Portuguese Minho, in 2004. Influenced by Jamaican music from 60 and 70’s, these two characters take ahead their project trough production, editing, mixing and masterizing voices and instrumentals. Knowing each other since little boys and being neighbours, they both were in other projects: one as a lead singer and lyricist and the other as a bass and guitar player. After experiences in Punk/Rock bands which didn’t fulfill their expectactions and dreams, they decided to get together and invest in what truly warmed their soul: Dub. They made the first collaboration with a musician from Virgin Islands and from there they took the path of the World. Always withous instruments, withous rehearsal place and dividing tasks: where does the production and edition, other is responsible for mixing and masterizing. They had participations from many countries (Jamaica, Virgin islands, Brasil, French Guyana, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Italy, USA, Canada, France, Cyprus and Portugal) and they plan to raise this number to pass the message we are all one and that we are united by two major elements: Nature and Love. The main goal of this collective is, therefore, to unite talents spread across the planet , opening doors to globality of expression trough sound and image. In all the visual art present Bandulu had the help and precious work of Sr Calavera, from Monterrey, México and Laura Rewind from Mexico city. After going this way Bandulu Dub played in several south and Latinoamerican radios, later playing in radios from Europe, Australia and EUA. In December 2007, one of the elements of Bandulu Dub went to Mexico, being there he made the experience, for the first time, to play live. This event lead to a growing will to share and express their music to all audiences. In February 2008 they’ve presented their work in Costa da Caparica, in Portugal, in the event Double Xplosion. Later on, in that same month, invited by Fazuma Radio, they took part in the event Clubbing, in Casa da Música, in Oporto. Meanwhile they were selected to enter, with one song, soundtrack cd of Surf Challenge 2007, sponsored by Lightning Bolt. In the beggining of 2008 they participated in “Free West Papua” project with one song. In March 2008, in Roots Magazine’s first edition (Mexican publication), Bandulu Dub had a special article. Bandulu Dub meets Haji Mike live for the first time in history. In January 2008 both projects met on myspace.com and decided to write a song together. Just a few days after that cultural exchange, “Freedom” song was born from direct contact between Cyprus and Portugal. This track integrates the compilation for liberation of Papua Nova Guiné and another compilation called “New talents 2008” from Fnac, a megastore. By the end of May the director of Aeolos contacted Haji Mike proposing Bandulu Dub to play in a Protaras festival at 1st June, which main purpose was to win world record of the biggest beach towel in the world.
