Kaliman – Pas de Travail

Kaliman - The Resilience of Reggae Is Back!

After two decades of silence, the Parisian reggae group Kaliman is making a grand comeback, bringing the power of social critique and collective energy back to the French reggae scene.

“Pas de Travail” - A Historic Revival Their first release, "Pas de Travail", is a fresh take on the 2004 classic featuring Manu from Orchestra Baobab

This track, originally part of the Jungle Urbaine compilation by XIII Bis Records, brings generations together and celebrates the resilience of reggae. Still as relevant today as when it first dropped!

“Dancehall Shot” - A 2003 Dancehall Gem In January 2025, Kaliman will be re-releasing “Dancehall Shot”, a fiery track from the 2003 Quality Streetz compilation by CO2 Activity

This collaboration between Dragon Davy, Abib (Kaliman), and Chadness brings all the raw, festive energy of the 2000s French dancehall scene. Get ready for a blast from the past, complete with a legendary cameo from Sydney!

New Music Coming Soon

Starting February 2025, Kaliman will drop brand new tracks, starting with “Papier”—a powerful anthem tackling identity, dignity, and the struggles of modern life. Keep your ears open for more!

With Abib leading the charge, Kaliman is here to remind us that reggae isn’t just music—it’s a tool for change

The return of Kaliman isn’t just about looking back; it’s about pushing forward! ✊

Catch “Dancehall Shot” this January and stay tuned for "Papier" in February

Big things coming!
