Dutch band with Moluccan roots that often - because of the specific blend of guitar and percussion - is compared with Santana.The double 's' in the band name is something of a luxury, because Massada is a reference to the palaces and forts on a mountain in Israel that are world famous by the name Masada.
In any case the 'misspelling' was not made to avoid confusion with jazz and klezmer band Masada (with one 's'), because that formation - led by John Zorn - only exists since the early 1990s.
