A brief Droban-Apherna's biography

Droban-Apherna is a Portuguese instrumental experimental music band from Silves, in Portugal and it was created in late 2008, being originally called "Estes". Although the most noticeable The music style is sometimes labeled by some as fusion due to the wide range of styles that are played throughout the albums and even throughout the course of the same song.

The band is formed by Pedro Calquinha (keyboard and guitar) and André Marques (bass guitar), although both play several other instruments on the band's albums, such as percussion, bouzouki, mandolin, flute and synthesizers. It has even occurred that sometimes they switch instruments between them, for example in the song "Cacá Manéna" in the Ablun Malüss 108 album, where André played guitar and Pedro played the bass.

The band has so far released three studio albums: Bufus Dei (2010), Ablun Malüss 108 (2011) and Drubahaal (2011). All albums were recorded, mixed and mastered by the band members themselves. The artwork from the covers was also done by the band members.
