Masala Soundsystem is a Warsaw-based collective founded in 2002. It spectacularly collides the world of traditional instruments and melodies from around the world with modern drum loops, deep bass and socially conscious street poetry (in Polish and English). Masala's music crosses the genre boundaries, reaching for punk fury, dancey electronics, hip-hop expression, dub depth or ethnic mysticism - depending on the needs of the given tune. The band consists of virtuosos in their fields, coming from seemingly distant musical worlds - such as folk and ethnic music, hip-hop and modern electronica. However, their joint artistic activity turns out to play in perfect harmony, and combines into a fascinating whole. The result of Masala's activity is 10+ LPs and EPs, a number of singles and over 1000 concerts, events and radio broadcasts - including performances at the largest and most prestigious festivals in Poland, as well as several dozen of performances abroad: from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, through Germany, France and Sweden, to South Korea, India and Afghanistan.

People often think of the Balkans as a crossroads. With their busy trade and cultural routes, the Balkans have been linking the East with the West, the North with the South throughout the centuries. Now can you imagine someone setting up a tent in the midst of that bustling roundabout, in a place where all those roads converge in a swirling mix? Can you imagine, out of the blue, a tent with a wild illegal wedding party inside springing up in the middle of that crossroads, a jamming makeshift shelter which blocks the traffic until the break of dawn? Well, the loud music that would be played beneath the tent cover – this is the sound of the ShazaLaKazoo.
