Masala Soundsystem is a multi-kulti musical entity from Warsaw, Poland - known for 20 years of musical activity and 10+ releases in LP & EP form. It combines traditional instruments (sarangi, saz, suka, hurdy-gurdy, jew-harp, darbuka, bendir, ney, duduk...) and vocal techniques (throat-singing) from Asia, Middle East & Eastern Europe, with modern drum loops, deep bass and socially conscious street poetry - serving it all with significant pinch of punk energy and well-directed rage. Masala Soundsystem consists of virtuosos in their crafts, coming from musical worlds as distant as traditional ethnic & folk music, hip-hop, reggae, dancehall or modern electronic music of various genres. However, their joint artistic effort - orchestrated in the proper way - turns out to perfectly harmonize and combine into a fascinating new form. From melancholy of dub, through oriental dancehall, to overwhelming energy of techno or drum'n'bass. From subtle sounds of traditional instruments to fiery and noisy electro-ethno-punk. From interpretations of old folk melodies to rebellious hip-hop lyrics full of bitter commentary on the shape and rules of the modern world. From the North to the South, from the East to the West. From Tarnobrzeg to Bangladesh. Total Masala! :)
