Německý bluegrass pohybující se mezi východní Evropou a západní Amerikou. The Mazookas jsou skupina ilustrátorů a grafiků z Berlína, která představuje své grafické umění tím způsobem, že hraje populární východoevropskou-západoamerickou hudbu. Pojmenovali se podle toho, jak neworleánský jazzový pianista Jelly Roll Morton vyslovil název tradičního polského lidového tance mazurka: „mazooka“. Skupina se hudebně inspiruje sbírkami rané lidové hudby (Knihovna Kongresu, Smithsonian Institute). A stejně tak jako členové skupiny obdivují výtvory některých neškolených výtvarníků, přistupují sami k hudbě jako neškolení hudebníci. Předvádějí ambiciózní amatérské dovednosti, zapojují neobvyklé nástroje, humor a ironii. Hrají většinou na akcích spojených s grafickým uměním. Ve skupině vystupuje ilustrátor Henning Wagenbreth a jeho studenti.
