In music, a type of ensemble or band, often used in Latin and Spanish music contexts; also slang for an abandoned building used by street musicians or community members.
Spanish origin from 'bando' meaning 'group' or 'band.' Related to the Italian 'banda.' In modern slang, it refers to the building itself rather than the group.
