Banda Yala began as a duet, when Aron Hollinger (guitar) and Odysséas Manidákis (bouzouki) met and started playing together in 2016 during their music studies in Linz.
Their goal back then was to play a few traditionals and rebetiko tunes from Greece for fun.
They started performing in various restaurants and live-stages in Linz and the surrounding area. In 2018 Nikola Jelić (Akkordeon) joined in, bringing his own influence of Serbian folk music in the group. Through playing together the 3 musicians began incorporating their own musical ideas in the repertoire and composed own pieces in this style.
Through the recent addition of the enchanting voice of Karolína in 2022, the group was completed and entered the next level. We are happy to share the musical outcome of this synergy with you and can’t wait to celebrate the evening in Leto together!
