YolanDa's Band Jam

Series 2

Jam #26: Super Strummin'

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies

Available for 6 months

YolanDa Brown and her house band, the Band Jaminals, entertain an audience of children - the Band Jammers - with live music and special guests!

YolanDa gets everyone moving with the song Let Me See You, which is all about dancing and gets the Band Jammers hopping and swaying and ready to have fun.

Joining YolanDa in this episode is guitar sensation Billy Watman. Billy shows Band Jammer Darcy how to strum on the ukulele and then demonstrates different guitar techniques called fingerstyle and rasgueado. Billy then plays the guitar at different speeds, and YolanDa and the band jammers march along to the music.

The Fact Jam explores some facts about flamenco - looking at the instruments, dance and costumes that make up this Spanish cultural tradition.

Billy Watman then dazzles the crowd with a guitar rendition of Rasputin before YolanDa and the Band Jammers invite him to join in with the Big Band Jam at the end of the programme.

Next, there's a short film where Band Jammers Mario, Mae and Jake learn how to play air guitar with air guitar superstar Sven!

YolanDa, the Band Jaminals and Billy Watman end the show with the Big Band Jam, performing the high-energy flamenco-inspired song Air Guitar. Show less
