Titubanda – “The Wavering Band” – is a Roman representative in a global street band movement. The group is an egalitarian musical collective with anywhere from 30 to 50 (plus) members that plays everything from traditional Italian village songs to avant-guard jazz via Latin American rhythms and Arabic melodies. In Italy they perform at demonstrations and street actions – as well as activist band festivals and even the occasional club gig. And with a right wing prime minister in Italy and a mayor with fascist roots in Rome, they currently have plenty to keep them busy!
Below (or here) is a video of Titubanda at the annual October Boston-area event that brought them to our shores,
the HONK festival of activist street bands (note the lobster headgear):

There are always so few comments for this show, even though there are undoubtedly heaps of listeners. Helllllooooooo? Office drones must populate weekday comments sections, as a distraction from worrying about getting laid off. Nobody else makes comments from home? Or wirelessly?

Second comment.
Woo Hoo

Can't speak for Ron, D, etc., Ike, but during the weekday I'm chained to my desk, and therefore near the puter. On weekends, I'm running around, even when I'm at home. That said, Hello Rob, this former marching-band sax player is looking forward to the Italian leftie marchers.

Hi Kati, I'm still here! Welcome! It's usually quiet on Saturdays here. I think Parq is right. On weekdays, people are chained to their desks at work, so they comment a lot. Right now people are probably driving around. Although it just started raining heavily here in New Jersey so maybe they will all come home.

Your DJ
Kati, the interview was pre-recorded so they're not here to answer, but I think they would. You could contact them through their website which is http://www.titubanda.it. There may also be some similar bands in Brazil actually although I don't know for sure.
