SoSaLa is a band from New York, led by the sax player SoSaLa (real name is Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi), who blends melancholic melodies with those of his native Iran. Fueled by improvisation with lo-fi electronics, the diverse Middle Eastern, African and Western instruments, such as fula flute, talking drum, sabar, electric tar, piano, vibes, electric trumpet and guitar, make for an ambient and psychedelic take on NO WAVE/World music. SoSaLa's vocals give a dada-istic touch to social and political issues. Altogether, he calls the music "nu world trash".
