In 2025, the historic venue that is The Jazz Cafe will celebrate and explore the legacy of London’s rich Soundsystem culture with a series of events through the year. Hosted by the most influential teachers in roots and dub, the hosts of each show will play an extended session, taking us through the evolution of their musical world from day 1 to now…

We’re excited to kick off this series with a true UK soundsystem + Notting Hill Carnival legend in February, Aba Shanti-i.

Aba’s 30-year legacy stretches all over the world. Reviving, engineering and showcasing sacred dub records and soulful reggae sounds from all over the world. Unmissable vibes incoming across a 4 hour long session…

Please note the restaurant is closed for this event, but larger groups can reserve a space in the mezzanine by clicking the Drinks Tables Enquiries button.
