Kawa 10th Anniversary UK Tour London Stop
229 London, Venue 1, W1W 5PN , [Venue Details]Kawa are a Yunnan-based Chinese roots reggae band whose music grows directly from the land they come from. Formed in 2015 in Ximeng — a border town in Southwest China on a similar latitude to Jamaica — their sound emerges from a place where music, dance, and daily life are inseparable.
Blending classic reggae rhythms with Wa ethnic vocal traditions, indigenous instruments, and the ambient sounds of nature, Kawa have spent a decade allowing reggae to take root in Chinese soil. Their music carries an earthy, grounded soul shaped by the cultural landscapes of Yunnan’s Wa, Hui, and Hani communities, where rhythm is learned not from records, but from land, memory, and shared movement.
As Kawa mark ten years of making music in 2025, their work stands as a living archive of time and place — tracing how a global form can be transformed through locality, repetition, and lived experience. From China’s borderlands to their first UK tour in 2024, including a sold-out show in London, Kawa’s reggae affirms that rhythm belongs wherever it is patiently grown.
