MARKSCHEIDER KUNST is a Russian band with a German name that plays music that sounds like the African tropics -- Latin-ska fusion from Northern Havana.
Markscheider Kunst are one of the most prominent club acts of St. Petersburg and Moscow, with a following also in Western Europe. Their melodic, irresistibly positive, intoxicating and danceable music, which is best heard live, crosses borders effortlessly.
