The Bandulos know how to get feet on the dancefloor, and we tailor our sets to fit each event. We also accommodate requests. In fact, some special requests have become Bandulos mainstays!
Below is a list of songs we perform with some regularity. There are many other songs we’ve played just a few times that are not on the list. At right, check out our mp3 sampler recorded at a recent private party, along with a sample setlist.
