Last update: 24/04/2019
Omar Bandinu is one of the only sardinian bassu singers in the world. The Tenores singing is one of the more ancient ways of singing in the Mediterranean area. Nothing about its origins is sure, but the historians maintain that this traditional polyphony goes back to 3000 years ago. Bandinu is one of the founders of the famous Tenores di Bitti “Mialinu Pira” : having a style which is slightly less rough than that of other quartets, exemplary researchers in their heritage, impeccable executors with exceptional vocal quality, they have reached a level of excellence and of admiration which is without equal in Sardinia and in the whole world. The Tenores di Bitti “Mialinu Pira” have a special place amongst the many groups in Sardinia. Their frequent performances on so many national television programs are to be remembered. In the last few years they've been touring extensively Europe (France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Czech Republic, Spain, Belgium, Nederland, Austria, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Swiss, Ireland, Croatia, Serbia, Lithuania, Tunisia, Hungary, United Arab Emirates, Brazil , Japan and Israel). It is also remarkable their participation in 2001to the Christmas Concert in the Vatican for the Pope Giovanni Paolo II, the concert on May 2009 in the Concertgebouw Theatre in Amsterdam and in December in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem 2013.
