Banda Mel was a spunky, though generic, uptempo Bahian pop-samba ensemble which -- like many other axe bands -- originally grew out of a Carnaval bloco group. Apparently at some point they changed their name to Bamdamel (or Bamda Mel), for some reason. They've also recorded a buttload of albums, many of which are listed below.
