A powerful crossover of reggae, funk, hip-hop, dub, dancehall, rock, and ska, straight from South Tyrol! The 10-piece band, affectionately known as the "Shantis," creates an electrifying, innovative stage show that inspires both dancing and reflection. Their music, a blend of English, German, and Italian lyrics, conveys a positive, sunny, and energetic vibe, while also radiating tranquility.

​

Since their formation in 2010, Shanti Powa has made a name for themselves internationally. Their songs are played on radio stations in over 160 countries, and they have performed at renowned festivals such as Rototom Sunsplash (ES), Overjam (SL), Reeds (CH), AKF (DE) and "1. Maggio" in Rome (IT). In December 2022, they even performed at the Anti-Corruption Conference
in Washington DC (USA).
 

Throughout their career, they have shared the stage with artists such as Max Romeo, The Gladiators, Israel Vibrations, Dub Fx, Julian Marley, Alborosie, and many more.
 

They are currently working intensively on their fifth studio album, scheduled for release in early 2026. The first singles, "Opportunity" featuring Malawian superstar Faith Mussa and "Box" featuring world-renowned Herbert Pixner, showcase their musical maturity and innovative spirit.
