Based in a small town in Bavaria, LaBrassBanda was still an insider’s tip in 2007 with their extraordinary mixture of Bavarian folk music, ska-punk, techno, reggae and brass. After 10 years, the band has been known across the borders of Germany with their performances in the U.S., Russia, Zimbabwe and England and at international festivals. A highlight in their career was a tour across Austria on vintage mopeds and a tractor during the 2008 European Football Championship. The band will celebrate its tenth anniversary by launching a new album called “Around the World” which is expected to be released on March 3.

The band’s members consist of Stefan Dettl (vocals/trumpet player), Manuel Winbeck (trombone player), Manuel Da Coll (drummer), Fabian Jungreithmayr (bassist), Stefan Huber (tuba player), Jörg Hartl and Korbinian Weber (trumpet players). They will enter the stage barefoot and especially in Lederhosen (traditional breeches made of leather). “Anyone who attends a LaBrassBanda concert has to be cosmopolitan and eager to discover something new,” said frontman Stefan Dettl, in a statement. “We think that it’s about time for the band to come to Vietnam.”
