Kotoa are a 5 piece outfit rooted in South London. Their debut EP “Earthwise” was met with immediate acclaim from some of the UK’s biggest tastemakers, leading to a live performance on Giles Peterson’s Worldwide FM as well as festival appearances at Boomtown, Kendal Calling & We Out Here, where they opened the main stage. Most recently, they released their second full EP, ‘Out of The Dark’ (2026). Produced by revered musician and engineer Benedic Lamdin (Nostalgia 77), it’s an ode to how music and dance can physically remove tension, provide moments of freedom and help you escape from an over consuming and often negative world.
Brick Lane Jazz Festival is joining forces with Tomorrow’s Warriors as our charity partner for the 2027 edition of the festival. We have worked together to create a unique opportunity to give back to the music community, having an impactful and lasting effect on the emerging UK Jazz talent.
