KAWALA
They didn’t plan it this way, but the music of North London’s KAWALA is tailor-made for summer festivals. Singer Jim Higson and guitarist Daniel McCarthy initially played acoustic folk songs as a duo. When they decided to expand KAWALA into a five-piece band, those songs suddenly became danceable. Singles like “Do It Like You Do” and “Ticket To Ride” showcase a fresh mix of pop, indie, and folk with infectious afrobeat rhythms. The harmonious vocals of Jim and Daniel bring it all together. In 2022, the compelling debut album “Better With You” was released. Landgraaf will undoubtedly fall for the warm-hearted folky pop songs of KAWALA where the sun always shines.
