Paweł Szpura is a Warsaw-based drummer, strongly connected with the Pardon, To Tu club scene. Although Szpura has not attended any music school, up to now, at the age of 34 he has already played with such masters as: Peter Brotzmann, Pheeroan akLaff, Hamid Drake, Nicole Mitchell, and Maria Raducanu.

Szpura's style is distinctive. Rooted in rock from the sixties and the seventies, his rhythm is a kind of a weave between various, and often very distant, musical heritages: rock, free jazz, Arabic, African, Turkish, Jewish, Romanian... The extraordinary talent of Paweł Szpura allows him not only compile these traditions –to braid them into a cohesive entity– but at the same time lets him react naturally and astonishingly fast with other artists.
