Banda Magda

Banda Magda is the musical world of composer, arranger and performer Magdalini Giannikou. Magdalini was born in Greece, studied in Boston, spent an adventurous decade in New York and is now based in Valencia, Spain. Her favorite pastime is making something out of nothing. Her artistic identity is shaped by the several languages she speaks and studies, her cinematic approach to songwriting, her unique voice in orchestration, arranging and production, as well as her love for interactive audience participation. Banda Magda is also Magda in conversation—with her bandmates, with the cultures and places that have shaped her, and with the audience itself—where music becomes something shared, changing a little with every encounter.
