A Banda or Abanda?

[Harry]

Speaking of the A&M Gold Series, I notice that the spelling of "A Banda" on that release is "Abanda", and I think I've seen it elsewhere that way. Is this one of those "Mas Que Nada" spelling deals where the original album is wrong?

Is it one word: "Abanda", or two words: "A Banda"? Maybe our Brazilian experts can chime in. (I'll put this post in the Brazilian forum as well.)

The correct title is "A Banda",... two words.
In english that means literally, "The Band", intended as musical band.
Our spanish translation for that song is "La Banda". And I mention that it is really a song, because there are lyrics both in portuguese and italian, both written by Chico, author of the music as well.
