Though my girlfriend had been
telling me about the Honk! music festival for a long time, 2017 was the first
year I’d been able to attend. I had a blast, and so was excited to check out
some of the music again this year. This festival, which features brass bands
from all over the country and elsewhere, takes place in two locations: Davis
Square in Somerville, and Harvard Square in Cambridge. My girlfriend and I went
on Saturday, October 6th, which was the Davis Square day. Bands played in seven
locations around the square, and we tried to see as many of them as possible. We
managed to see Environmental Encroachment, Rara Bel Poze, Bread & Puppet Circus Band, Brass Balagan, Rude Mechanical Orchestra (I had to see this band because of my
passion for Shakespeare), Unidos Do Swing, Unlawful Assembly, and School Of Honk. All were
good, but the highlight of the day was, without question, Unidos Do Swing, a
band from Sao Paulo, Brazil. These guys were a whole lot of fun, playing some
damn good music and putting on a great show. They did a fantastic rendition of “Sing,
Sing, Sing,” and then concluded with “When The Saints Go Marching In,” joined
by members of Bread & Puppet Circus Band.
