Banda Osiris are an Italian ensemble of musicians, actors and composers.
Career
The group formed in 1980, in Vercelli.{{cite book|last=Enrico Deregibus|title=Dizionario completo della Canzone Italiana|date=8 October 2010|publisher=Giunti Editore, 2010|isbn=978-8809756250}} Their name is a pun/tribute to Italian revue soubrette, actress and singer Wanda Osiris. They initially started their career with street performances, mixing music, acting and comedy. With "Banda Osiris di Giorno" they debuted on stage, and through the theatrical dimension they had a growing success, especially with the shows "Storia della musica voll. 1 e 2", under the direction of Gabriele Salvatores, and "Sinfonia Fantastica" directed by Maurizio Nichetti.
The group composed and performed several musical film scores, winning the Silver Berlin Bear for Best Film Music as well as the David di Donatello for Best Score and the Nastro d'Argento in the same category for the Matteo Garrone's 2004 drama film First Love.{{cite news|title=David 2004, trionfa 'La meglio gioventù' |url=http://trovacinema.repubblica.it/news/dettaglio/david-2004-trionfa-la-meglio-gioventu/270262 |accessdate=5 March 2014|newspaper=La Repubblica|date=May 14, 2004}}{{cite news|title=Festival di Berlino, Orso d'oro a 'Head-On', la Comencini vince 'Panorama'|url=http://trovacinema.repubblica.it/news/dettaglio/festival-di-berlino-orso-doro-a-head-on-la-comencini-vince-panorama/267225|accessdate=1 June 2015|work=La Repubblica|date=February 14, 2004}}{{cite news|title=Cinema, a Gianni Amelio il Nastro d'Argento 2005 |url=http://www.repubblica.it/2005/a/sezioni/spettacoli_e_cultura/nastri/nastripremi/nastripremi.html |accessdate=30 March 2014|newspaper= La Repubblica |date=4 February 2005}}
