Meet Klawo from Poland! This band clinched first place at last year’s Jazz in the Park Competition and won over everyone in the audience. They also performed at the festival last year.
Klawo began in 2020 in Gdańsk as a live band for Konstanty Kostka’s solo lo-fi hip hop project. Shortly after coming together, they decided to write music as a group and soon released their debut LP, “Klawo”, under the title Coastline Northern Cuts. Drawing inspiration from a variety of musical styles including jazz, funk, hip hop, psychedelia, and afrobeat, Klawo embraces ample room for improvisation.
Band members include Konstanty Kostka (keys, vocals, percussion), Kuba Krzanowski (drums), Malina Midera (keys, synths, percussion), Tomasz Rafalski (keys, synths, percussion), Alicja Sobstyl (flute, vocals), Artur Szalsza (bass, trumpet), and Karol Tchórz (trumpet).
