Amanda & La Banda - 2 albums: The First And The Last / Grand Hotel

Milanese band which for years has been the stage of the main Italian Blues and Jazz festivals and which has enjoyed notable success abroad, with an enthralling show. Founded by vocalist Amanda Tosoni in 2002, joined by Andrea Caggiari in 2007 as bassist and arranger.

Amanda and La Banda show the story of female Blues, from its origins to its legacy, told through reinterpretations of songs historically interpreted by the great Ladies of Blues, Jazz and Soul. From the ancient worksongs, gospel and spirituals, to the Classic Blues of the 1920s; from the divas of the 40s and 50s to the soul women of the '60s. Continuing along this stylistic path, but giving voice to current and personal themes, they also include their own compositions. (Translated from Italian.)

Amanda Tosoni: voice; Andrea Caggiari: electric bass; Alex Canella: drums; Marco Confalonieri: piano and keyboards.
