Bagdad Cafe the Trench Town is Japanese reggae band founded in 2001. Their début album Love Sunset was released in 2003. The front-woman, Mai, sings mostly in Japanese but adds in many English words too.[1] In 2008 the band took part[2] in the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time.[3]
The group took their name from a combination of the 1987 West German movie "Bagdad Café", and the Trenchtown neighbourhood in Kingston, Jamaica.
