Banya (musical group)

Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAN : Banya (musical group)

Banya (반야), sometimes spelled BANYA or BanYa, is Andamiro's musical group responsible for creating original songs for Pump It Up. The style of its music varies greatly, from rap to techno, from rock 'n' roll to classical music.

Classical remixes are among Banya's most popular productions. Several sonatas, symphonies and pieces feature in different versions. Mixing violins, guitars and heavy beats, these songs draw particular attention from players and passers-by.
