Biography
Banda Original Columbia were an Argentine brass-band ensemble associated with patriotic, ceremonial, and marching repertoire. Their recorded profile is centered on 1978, when they released the album Al Gran Pueblo Argentino Salud, a set built around national symbols and school or military staples such as âHimno Nacional Argentino,â âHimno al Libertador General San MartÃn,â âMi Bandera,â âAurora (Canción a la Bandera),â âSan Lorenzo,â and âMarcha de las Malvinas.â That same year they also issued Marcha Oficial del Mundial â78 - Single, tying the group to the atmosphere of the Argentina-hosted FIFA World Cup. âMarcha de las Malvinasâ took on particular weight during the Malvinas/Falklands war period, reaching Number 1 in Argentina in 1982. More than individual performers, Banda Original Columbia are best understood through that compact but durable catalog of ceremonial brass recordings that kept titles like âMarcha de las Malvinas,â âHimno Nacional Argentino,â and âSan Lorenzoâ in circulation long after their original release.
