Tokyo Riddim Band

London-based Tokyo Riddim Band is a fusion of cultures, uniting three generations of Japanese female musicians with London’s eclectic soundscape. Their vibrant performances merge reggae drums, funky basslines, and City Pop guitar, all live and dubbed-out on stage, creating a cultural phenomenon in the reggae scene. Following their debut single’s success, “Denshi Lenzi,” Tokyo Riddim Band presents “Canoe Boy,” a hypnotic Japanese new wave reggae track. Originally penned by Japanese punk rock pioneer PANTA in 1980 for Tomoko Kuwae’s album, this gem makes its single debut now. Dubby and funky, Tokyo Riddim Band’s rendition, enhanced by Prince Fatty’s dubwise touch, features siren machines, extended solos, and a groovy outro.
