BABAM was founded in 2016, and arose from an already-existing Boston tradition called the HONK! Festival. The festival is a gathering of activist street bands who come to Somerville for a weekend of music and protest. BABAM’s founders wanted to create a group of musicians who could go to demonstrations at a moment’s notice, instead of just once a year; hence, BABAM was born.
