Music bands

A sea of music bands

Vigo’s traditional music bands are an institution. Vigo really loves music! We have a dozen bands brought together in the Popular Music Band Federation of Vigo, an annual Christmas event attended by Galicia bands and countless traditional orchestras from all over the city.

Vigo’s music bands have a clear common denominator, their neighbourhood or parish. Their cultural and social centres are the ones who promote and maintain the bands:

AGRUPACIÓN MUSICAL DA SCD. ATLÁNTIDA DE MATAMÁ

UNIÓN MUSICAL DE VALLADARES

BANDA ESCOLA DE MÚSICA DE BEADE

UNIÓN MUSICAL DE CORUXO

LIRA DE SAN MIGUEL DE OIA

UNIÓN MUSICAL DE CABRAL

ESCOLA DE MÚSICA DA UVCD DE CANDEÁN

ATENEO MUSICAL DE BEMBRIVE

AS DELICIAS DO CAEIRO

Check the programme for traditional music band concerts in Vigo.

Tips and recommendations: 

On the Galician Federation of Popular Music Bands website, you can listen to some of these bands’ recordings and many others from other parts of Galicia... Although there's nothing like hearing them live in some of Vigo’s popular festivities!
