Formed in 1997, KASTA (Каста) is a legend of Russian rap - The artist that gave rap music cult status in their home country. The band consists of four members: Vlady, Shym, Hamil and Zmey. Starting their career with a hardcore hip-hop sound that drew on East Coast inspirations, they eventually turned towards a much more diverse palette. They currently have over 10 full-length studio albums to their credit.
KASTA hails from Rostov-on-Don, a city close to Ukraine's border with Russia. The uncompromisingly condemned the Russian illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the very day it started stating: “We are shocked by Russia's attack on Ukraine. This is pure military aggression that has no justification”. Shortly after that band members had to flee the country: Kasta’s concerts and airplays are now prohibited in Russia.
Anti-regime and anti-totalitarian lyrics characterize KASTA’s work of the recent years. Their “Vyhodi gulyat” (“Come out for a walk”) became one of the anthems of Belarusian freedom movement. KASTA’s recent anti-war album Novinki Zarubezhnogo Rapa and member Vlady’s solo album February lasts and lasts (referral to the calendar date of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine) reflect over the devastating effect of this shameful act onto the whole generation.
On top of that, every KASTA’s show is a burst of energy, strong and honest emotion and the most brilliant rap sound from this part of the world.
Their new European tour combines greatest hits known by heart by every Russian speaker in the world - and brand new songs. Simply not to be missed!
