“Black Masala seems to be name rolling off of everyone’s tongue in the last year, and for a good reason: they deliver one of the most explosive performances you will see in D.C. The band is comprised of members from Bellflur, Thievery Corporation, and many others-rounding out a very diverse sound. Black Masala...will make for a rip-roaring evening of worldly music that is sure to be a don’t miss event.” - D.C. Music Download Blog
"Mixing diverse and international sounds into an appealing sonic mix... Black Masala, an eclectic 9-piece group, merges a wide array of musical traditions and backgrounds. Rocking tubas, accordions, banjos, and who knows what else, expect a dance party when they play." - On Tap Magazine
"Black Masala puts a face-melting brass section to work on rhythms as varied as Balkan beats, New Orleans jazz, indie rock and Appalachian roots music. The thread connecting it all? Party music."
