J-Dub feat. Waq Waq Kingdom
About the event
A night filled with Japanese dance music, a dub rave with a Japanese DJ collective and the Waq Waq Kingdom duo. The Waq Waq performance is a psychedelic mix of traditional Japanese music, Jamaican dancehall, dub, techno, and the native polyrhythms of Nintendo soundtracks. Their lyrics and visualizations are inspired by Shinto mythology and matsuri festivals, worshiping local "Kama-sama" deities. The Waq Waq concert will be followed by pop hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s, enka, elecropop, reggae, dub, minyou, and Japanese hip-hop.
