Wanda i Banda (stylized as Wanda & Banda, previously known as Banda i Wanda[1]) are a Polish rock musical group. At the peak of their popularity in the mid-1980s, they scored hits like "Hi-Fi", "Nie będę Julią", "Kochaj mnie miły", "Podróżni bez biletu (Mamy czas)" and "Siedem życzeń". The band's leader and vocalist is Wanda Kwietniewska.
History
[edit]In September 1982, vocalist Wanda Kwietniewska left the rock band Lombard and in November, established her own group, Banda i Wanda. Their debut, self-titled album was released in 1984 by Polskie Nagrania Muza and included the hits "Hi-Fi", "Nie będę Julią", "Fabryka marzeń" and "Chcę zapomnieć". In 1985, they followed the success with the second LP, Mamy czas, released by Pronit, with further hits "Kochaj mnie miły" and "Podróżni bez biletu (Mamy czas)".
In 1986, the long-delayed teen series Siedem życzeń premiered on TV, in which the band appeared as themselves and performed nine songs, including the popular title track. Despite being one of the most popular acts in Poland at that time, Banda i Wanda disbanded in the same year.
Kwietniewska launched a solo career and released one album, Własna California, in 1990. The band reformed in 1993, but only released the compilation Ballady rockowe before going on another hiatus two years later.
In 2000, the band made a comeback under the new moniker Wanda i Banda. They released compilations Platynowa płyta and Złota kolekcja: Hi-Fi which included some new material. In 2006, their classic hits "Hi-Fi" and "Nie będę Julią" were remixed by DJ Adamus and the DJ duo Kalwi & Remi, and enjoyed renewed popularity on the radio and the club scene.
The band's new studio album, Z miłości do strun, was released in 2008, and a year later was followed by an album of re-recorded songs from Siedem życzeń. Boths CDs were released by minor label Box Music.
