Just a little bit about us - we started as a duo in West London; Natasha and Kaziu or Kaziu and Natasha...whatever. Natasha is a London born Serb and Kaziu is mixture of English, Scottish and Indian who grew up in South Devon.

Mala has different meanings in different languages. In Sanskrit; garland of flowers, in Serbian; little/young one, in Hebrew; 'upwards', in Spanish; wicked/bad...Then there are the buddhist 'mala' mantra prayer beads. We like all of these meanings as nothing in life is black and white, a person is made up of many different parts, can be and experience many things and our songs are about many different feelings and attitudes.
