Massada
The iconic Dutch-Moluccan band Massada has left an indelible mark on the Dutch music scene and far beyond with their unique mix of latin rock and percussion rock.
Led by founder Johnny Manuhutu, Massada was formed in the 1970s by Moluccan musicians and was at the forefront of a brand new sound in the Netherlands. They were pioneers in the use of extensive percussion instruments, inspiring countless other bands.
Massada's live performances have achieved mythical status, with spectacular shows at events including Pinkpop and the International Java Jazz Festival. Their music is a powerful blend of Western instruments, South American rhythms, Eastern temperament, and Moluccan heritage. All this, exclusively with their own compositions.
Dj Teddy Talapessy will be spinning records before and after Massada.
