Masala Dosa — Masala Dosa 77 [1979] (Denmark, Psychedelic-Progressive Rock)

The band "Masala Dosa" (a dish common among the people of South India) formed in 1975 in Copenhagen. The quartet was formed by former musicians of local bands such as "Hyldemor" and "Bifrost." Bassist Thor Mathisen was born in Norway but moved to Denmark in the mid-1960s, where he befriended guitarist John Teglgaard. Drummer, composer, and vocalist Marian Lichtman is originally from Poland and a founding member of the Polish band "Trubadurzy." In 1979, the album "Masala Dosa 77" was recorded and released on the "Kong Pære" label. Apparently, the musicians spent two years refining what they had written two years earlier. The album consisted of six tracks and was crafted in a prog-psychedelic style. In places, it was reminiscent of another Danish band, Culpeper's Orchard. Melodic guitar passages, progressive song structures, occasional sitar, and very few vocals. Without making much of a splash, Masala Dosa quietly ended its career in the early 1980s.
