Aswad ("Black" in Arabic) are a long lasting british reggae group, noted for adding strong R&B, soul and soca influences to the reggae sound. They have been performing since the early 1970s, having released a total of 21 albums. As naturalised children of immigrants from the Caribbean, part of the aftermath of World War II, the "kids" were moved to London. They attended a local high school near Ladbroke Grove, and various junior schools as Tan Tan children of immigrants from the Caribbean around West London in 1975.
