Sarabanda is a quartet that transforms your wedding into an elegant, unforgettable celebration with a versatile repertoire of italian pop.
Wedding band
Metropolitan City of Palermo

Salvatore Samaritano, leader of Sarabanda, is a singer-songwriter, musician, performer, architect, and art teacher. In 1993, he was a regional finalist in the “Sanremo Famosi” contest. In 1994, he won the “Sanremo Nuovi Talenti” contest, earning the release of an album played on national radio and gaining attention from the organizing committee of the 45th Sanremo Festival. The “Sanremo Music and Show” label presented the singer-songwriter for the “Sanremo Giovani” selections. “Convergenze” is his first official album, co-produced and arranged by Roberto Mezzatesta, pianist and arranger of the songs performed by the Sarabanda group. Sarabanda is the quartet that will make your wedding a unique and elegant celebration! With a repertoire of Italian and international pop, Italian swing, rumba, and bossa nova, they provide the perfect musical entertainment for every moment of your wedding. Their relaxed and pleasant vibe creates the ideal atmosphere to impress your guests and make you feel at ease. Sarabanda offers personalized artistic and musical consultation for the couple, aimed at delivering the best musical entertainment experience. The quartet provides a relaxed and enjoyable background during the aperitif and dinner, and a more dynamic performance for the dance floor, ranging from disco to electroswing, R&B to rock’n’roll. They are the ideal choice for couples who prefer a single point of contact not only for the reception’s musical entertainment but also for the sound setup and music for the civil ceremony. Sarabanda offers a duo (voice and piano, or instrumental: piano and violin) with a repertoire tailored for the ceremony, or, alternatively, provides audio services and additional support for playing pre-recorded music. Let this quartet, with national experience in the industry, captivate you for magical and thrilling moments!

Band di veri professionisti!!! Consigliatissimi! Siamo felicissimi di avere scelto i Sarabanda per il nostro giorno più bello. Sono dei veri professionisti, dal sound caldo e raffinato. Salvo, il cantante, ha emozionato tutti i commensali con la sua magnifica voce. İl pianista, il bassista e il batterista ci hanno coinvolti e affascinati con la loro maestria e i loro virtuosismi. Ci hanno fatto ballare e sognare. Li risceglieremmo ad occhi chiusi. Consigliatissimi!!! ❤

Sarabanda Musica Live's Song list

*MUSICA DA ASCOLTO:
Che coss'è l'amor
Via con me
Mille lire al mese
In cerca di te (perduto amore)
Fortuna
La felicità
Senza fine
Voglio vivere così
Ma l'amore no
Canto anche se sono stonato
Pippo non lo sa
Bellezza in bicicletta
Camminando sotto la pioggia
Oltre l'arcobaleno (somewhere over the rainbow)
Nella fantasia (Gabriel's Oboe)
Ricordi (Memory)
Se (nuovo cinema paradiso - love theme)
Un bacio a mezzanotte
Averti addosso
Me so' mbriacato
Il mondo è mio
Il mondo
come te non c'è nessuno
quella carezza della sera
brivido felino
stasera che sera
a mano a mano
Nessuno
Permettete signorina
Il pinguino innamorato
Nicuzza
Cocciu d'amuri
Perchè no
Non abbiam bisogno di parole
Meraviglioso amore mio
Mi sono innamorato di te
Guancia a guancia (Cheek to cheek)
Baciami piccina
E se domani
Parlami d'amore Mariù
Torpedo blu
A chi mi sa dare musica
Lontano lontano
Almeno tu nell'universo
Guardastelle
Una lunga storia d'amore
Se tu sapessi
Guarda che luna
Solo un gigolò
E adesso la pubblicità
Avrai
Aver paura di innamorarsi troppo
Strada facendo
Domenica bestiale
Rime per un sogno
Rosalina
Sexy Tango
Tutto Quello Che Un Uomo
Amore che vieni, amore che vai
A testa in giù
L'infinità
Jukebox
Sotto casa
Stasera che sera
Io che amo solo te
Io so che ti amerò
Ti ricordo ancora
Nell'estate del 66
Che cosa c'è
C'è tempo
Oh che sarà
Ogni volta
O' sole mio
Reginella
Torna a Surriento
Io te vurria vasa'
Tu sì na cosa grande
Notte di luna calante
Roma nun fa' la stupida stasera
Un'avventura
Estate
L'emozione non ha voce
Sally
E la chiamano estate
Cosa hai messo nel caffe'
New York (Thegiornalisti)
Oggi sono io

Notte prima degli esami
La donna cannone
Ho amato tutto
Se fossi un angelo
She ("Lei") (Aznavour)
La cura
Diamante
Centro di gravità permanente
Zenzero e cannella
Ain't misbehavin'
Dream a little dream of me
Home (Bublè)
Fly me to the moon
Just the way you are

Yesterday
Mack the knife
Unchained melody
What a wonderful world
You are so beautiful
Isn't she lovely
Your song
How deep is your love
Every breath you take
