As Bandas da Ponta do Sol

We can never say that the band from Ponta do Sol was one of the first in Madeira. When this group was founded, there were already 10 bands, four in Funchal and the rest distributed by our rural environment. The Banda da Ponta do Sol came on December 1, 1882, with the support of an important family and regarded as patrons of this collectivity – the Wilbrahan. First, the band was called Restauração and, soon after, Prince d’Odemburg. It had a great history until almost to our days, because they decided to maintain its name, even being Municipal Band from 1944.
