Klawo (/ˈklʌvɔ/) is a six-piece alternative jazz unit formed in 2020 in Gdańsk, Poland. Deeply rooted in the spirit of the 1970s - when funk, soul, fusion, and psychedelia were still too young to know they were separate genres - Klawo blends old-school approach with a modern sensibility of post-Dilla jazz, indie, and electronic music. The collective's two greatly received studio records, as well as highly energetic live shows, have granted them a place in line-ups of some of the major European festivals, including Montreux Jazz Festival (CH), Eurosonic/Noorderslag (HOL), Fusion Festival (GER) and Off Festival (PL) among others. In 2025 the band made its live debut in Japan, with two performances at Sound Culture: Poland x Japan Music Festival in Osaka, accompanied by a release of the Osaka Cuts EP. Taking equal influence from classic funk acts as from the obscure DIY songwriters, emerging from a vivid and diverse scene of Gdańsk, having played over 100 gigs in 14 countries, Klawo is considered to be one of the most promising new acts on today's Polish scene. Their sound, driven by two keyboard players, powerful rhythm section and melodic horns, gets frequently compared to the contemporary UK jazz acts, 1970s Polish funk, as well as experimental hip-hop productions of the LA scene. And the truth probably lies somewhere in between.

On March 28th, 2025, the band's second LP - 2 bobry i zachód słońca ('2 Beavers and a Sunset') - was released on a Polish label Coastline Northern Cuts. The album is the result of hours spent on tour, collaborative sessions and collective work on compositions. The band remains true to its principle of 'democracy with diplomacy' - everyone contributes song ideas that are later developed by the entire line-up. The result is an eclectic album full of surprises and stylistic volts, with influences ranging from funk, indie and hip-hop, to hardcore punk and tropicália. In March 2023, Klawo, became a finalist in the HEMI Music Awards program, an initiative to help artists from Central and Eastern Europe in international export. In July of the same year they won the first prize in the Jazz in The Park Competition held in Cluj-Napoca (RO). In August 2023 the first live album by Klawo was released by Coastline Northern Cuts, "Live!" - recorded on April 15th '23 at Sea You Tricity Music Showcase. Their second live album, a recording of their performance at Montreux Jazz Festival, is to be released in the first half of 2026.
