Huwa g\u0127a\u0121\u0121eb lil kull min kien pre\u017centi u ntwera apprezzament kbir mill-udjenza kollha.1a<\/p>\n

Ta\u2019 g\u0127oxrin sena bdiet titnissel \u0121o fih il-\u0127ajra li jifforma banda Maltija. Bl-g\u0127ajnunja ta\u2019 missieru Angelo, huwa rnexxielu jg\u0127aqqad g\u0127add ta\u2019 bandisti u j\u0127arri\u0121hom sewwa. Filippo Galea kien di\u0121\u00e0 g\u0127aqqad banda fl-1846, meta kien g\u0127ad kellu sbatax-il sena. Dan jidher mir-re\u0121istri tal-Fratellanza tal-Madonna tar-Ru\u017carju li nsibu fl-Arkivju tal-Knisja Ar\u010bipretali ta\u2019 \u0126a\u017c-\u017bebbu\u0121.2 Sena wara l-o\u0127ra jidher li l-banda tieg\u0127u baqg\u0127et iddoqq f’din il-festa. Fil-fatt, fl-1849 din il-banda nsibuha identifikata b\u0127ala Banda a Filippo Galea.3 Aktar tard insibu din il-banda identifikata bl-isem proprju tag\u0127ha. L-ewwel darba li deher miktub dan l-isem kif nafuh illum huwa fl-1851. Skont ir-re\u0121istru tal-ispejje\u017c tal-festa, tal-fratellanza tal-Madonna tal-Karit\u00e0.4 Filippo Galea ta isem lill-banda tieg\u0127u u semmieha Banda di San Filippo.5<\/p>\n

Filippo Galea g\u0127amel programm mu\u017cikali b\u2019din il-banda fil-festa ta\u2019 San Filep u ftit \u0121img\u0127at wara, sar programm ie\u0127or fil-festa tal-Madonna tal-Karit\u00e0 ft-08 ta\u2019 \u0120unju 1851.

Dan huwa dokument li juri l-progress li kienet qed tag\u0127mel din il-Banda bit-tag\u0127lim tal-mu\u017cika u s-servizzi mu\u017cikali.<\/p>\n
