More than just a band: a music collective based in Sicily, born from the passion and experience of professional musicians who have made versatility and reliability their strengths.
Led by the voice and artistic direction of Salvo Samaritano, the leader and heart of the project, Sarabanda is a modular line-up of ten top-level musicians who share a common, carefully prepared repertoire.
We usually play as a quartet or quintet, but Sarabanda's real strength is that we can always guarantee the same musical quality, whatever the circumstances. If a musician is busy or unavailable, another member of the collective can step in with no compromise on the performance.
A sax, a trumpet, a violin or a guitar on top of vocals, piano and bass? We can do that!
No risk of unexpected changes of plan or makeshift line-ups
Top-level musicians from the Sicilian music scene. Always.
Civil ceremony, aperitivo, dinner and party: the soundtrack of your whole day.

Wonderful
Salvo (the singer) is truly a kind, polite and gracious person, hard to find someone like that these days... He tried to understand our story, to interpret it and to pass it on to all our guests too. What can I say: wonderful, all of you ❤️
Artists
There are professionals who make music, and then there are artists who can turn every emotion into an unforgettable soundtrack. Sarabanda Band was all of this and much more.
From the very first contact they were helpful, kind and always ready to listen to every request we had. They advised us with great professionalism, helping us choose the perfect songs for the most important moments of our wedding.
During the ceremony on the beach, the piano made the atmosphere simply magical. Every note seemed to tell our love story, accompanying every emotion with indescribable delicacy and elegance. It was impossible to hold back the tears, not only for us but for our family and friends too.
Simply amazing!

We recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants to make their wedding an unforgettable event. Heartfelt thanks for helping to make our day so perfect
The skill of true live professionals.. Hugely talented
The experience with Salvatore Samaritano, who runs the Sarabanda group, gets off to a great start from the very first meeting. He's someone who puts you at ease and explains, humbly and honestly, what it really takes to organize the most beautiful day of your life. On top of that, the professionalism of a pianist who introduces beautiful melodies with unique arrangements.

There's no fixed price, because every event is unique. The final cost depends on your specific needs: the length of the performance, the venue, the packages included and the line-up you choose (from duo to quintet). Because we're a modular line-up, we build a tailor-made quote together with you, to give you the best value for money with no surprises.
Our specialty is classic Italian songwriting and the great Italian singer-songwriters, but we're very versatile: we range from swing to international pop so there's something for everyone. We have a specific repertoire for every moment, from the elegance of the civil ceremony to the dance set. Visit the 'Repertoire' page to see the full list!
We specialize in accompanying the civil ceremony (at the venue or at the town hall), with dedicated line-ups and songs to create the perfect atmosphere. We don't play in church for religious ceremonies. On our blog you'll find an article devoted to choosing music for the civil ceremony!
We're not just a wedding band! We also bring our music to private parties, corporate events, gala dinners and concerts in town squares. Our professionalism adapts to any setting that calls for classy live music.
Our home base is Palermo, where we offer our most competitive rates, but we're available to play anywhere in Italy, islands included! If we travel outside Sicily, we'll add a travel surcharge. You take care of a local sound rental company, and we'll take care of getting to you and bringing our music to your event.
