Bandulero Story
Bandulero Sound started off with Riton, Marc Johnson and Joe Hondah, who often teamed up in their studio to produce beats and riddims, which were voiced by Berlin MCs with (mostly) French lyrics. At that time (1997) Bandulero started to get spezialised in the production of remixes.As in the beginning of 2000 the Jamaican foundation legend Cornel Campbell aka Don Gorgon joined the four in their studio to record dub plates, it had become clear the idea of founding a sound system had to be made true! TwenFM, which was Germany's only pirate station at that time and active in Berlin, had its HQ opposite of the studio. This is were the four encountered Fat Eric and Chris, who had a regular show there and as turned out later were looking for a serious sound system. The powers were united and the cast was perfect! The crew started to concentrate on the sound system and the production of dub plates and mix tapes.
With time Bandulero made a name for themselves as event organizers in Berlin establishing several party series. The crew performed in clubs and on festivals all over the country and Europe- wide. Meanwhile Bandulero is not only known in but even beyond the borders of Germany. Over the years the sound's repertoire has expanded from classic styles like "dancehall and reggae" to "soca", "reggaeton", "zouk" and even "coupé décalé". The sound is also renowned for its own remixes and mix tapes.
