Kafvka is a German crossover band formed in Berlin in February 2013. The group was founded by rapper Jonas Kakoschke, born in 1983, alongside bassist Philipp Lenk, guitarist Alessio Pasqualicchio, and drummers Stephan Ifkovits and Sascha Hornung. The band’s first release, the EP Probe-Raum-EP (2014), introduced their hybrid sound. In April 2016, the debut album Hände hoch! was issued, featuring a cover of the Ton Steine Scherben song “Rauch-Haus-Song”, and the accompanying release concert drew a local following. Subsequent albums 2084 (2018), Paroli (2021), and Kaputt (2024) expanded their catalog, with the single “Alle hassen Nazis” (2018) gaining popularity. The group performed at major festivals, including Rock im Park and the Open Flair Festival, and toured across Germany, which included a January 21, 2024 appearance at a Demo gegen Rechts event in Munich.
