"Bamboo Houses" is an electronic song by Japanese musician-composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and English singer-songwriter David Sylvian, released as a single on Virgin Records in 1982. It reached number 30 on the UK charts in the second week of August 1982.
The song has been noted for its similarities to modern grime music, 20 years before the genre was founded in 2002. Fact magazine said it "accidentally predicted" grime and called it "the earliest example of proto‑grime" with elements such as a "gleaming synth lead, syncopated drumming and the type of vaguely Asian motif that would go on to define" the Sinogrime subgenre.
