The Contra Banditos are a New England Contra

for dances, parties and festivals. Their music combines traditional reels,
jigs, waltzes and polkas with songs and other syles of music from cajun
to old time, blue grass and folk.
The Contra Banditos formed in the late eighties as a small group of friends
playing music together. The band has since evolved into a larger group
of regular players on a wide variety of traditonal instruments...... fiddle,
whistle, flute, banjo, mandolin, guitar, keyboards, bass, harmonica, accordion,
bones and bodhran>
The Contra Banditos enjoy playing music for the benefit and enjoyment
of the community. They would like to preserve and promote the knowledge
and practice of traditional New England dancing and to keep the spirit
of old time music alive. www.contrabanditos.com
