Hope you’re feeling fine

The members of Banood decided to record a song after a prolonged hiatus. It has been 34 years since Banood recorded a song. The isolation of the pandemic was the catalyst to bring the band back together and record another tune. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are looking ahead at recording another tune.

Please enjoy the Banood version of “Whistle Down the Wind”, composed by Nick Heyward.
