bio
18 shows in 25 days, traveling over 5.000 km through 6 countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Macedonia. This is a summary of the last Balkan leg of Jacinto Canek’s long tour that lasted for two years, where they promoted debut album “Banditi” in Europe, and won critics and public acclamation without distinction. This last part brought new influences, cleared the minds and prepared the band for a new album and a new phase. With a new name too. THE BANDITI chose their initial artistic name JACINTO CANEK as a tribute to an outlaw and a revolutionary. Then in 2007 the debut album "Banditi" came about and the title track had such a profound effect on the whole project, it became a feature so strong and powerful that it imposed itself as the new name of the band. The new album is coming up and it is produced by German producer Hannes Jaeckl (who worked with John Oliver, Elvis Jackson, Psycho-Path, Exodus, Paradise Lost, Prong, Amon Amarth and many others, including Hungarian gypsy music orchestra). Their music is the explosion of sounds. They express themselves through rock, using it as highly eclectic form, opened to different kinds of music: from punk to electronic, from Mediterranean tradition to psychedelic sounds. In their songs, oriental scales meet metal riff, African percussions invade pop and reggae phrasing flows into Balkan and punk suggestions. The band on stage is full of energy, surprising and overwhelming.
