Kaya is the tenth studio album by the Jamaican band Bob Marley and the Wailers, released in 1978.

[3] The album's release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley's triumphant return to Jamaica from exile in London.

Lester Bangs, in Rolling Stone, wrote: "Musically, Kaya is a succession of the most tepid reggae clichés, pristinely performed and recorded, every last bit of tourist bait (down to the wood blocks) in place just like a Martin Denny record.

"[8] The Globe and Mail opined that "Marley's reggae, expansive as always, has this time failed to integrate the Jamaican and American elements.
