HEAVYWEIGHT INTERNATIONAL ACTS EXPECTED AT INAUGURAL “REGGAE ROOTS AND CULTURE” CONCERT IN SOUTH AFRICA, NOVEMBER 23!
A line-up of heavyweight international and South African acts is set to add fire to the inaugural Reggae, Roots and Culture at Maboneng on Saturday, 23 November. Leading the charge is UK-based Legend, a group of seven vocalists and musicians dedicated to the life and music of the late, great Bob Marley.
Regarded as the hardest working and most accomplished reggae band in South Africa, Tidal Waves is known for its blend of rock steady reggae mixed with African traditional sounds. Over a sustained career, that has seen them play all over South Africa and abroad as well as alongside the likes of Ziggy Marley, the Tidal Waves live experience is not to be missed.
Since 1997, Admiral & JahSeed have played dancehall reggae music (aka Ragga) with Admiral bringing up the tunes (Selector) and JahSeed chanting lyrics on the mic (MC). The duo has co-hosted their weekly show Raggatak on YFM since 1999, with JahSeed (also a member of Bongomaffin) the force behind the SAMA-winning reggae album, No Retreat No Surrender.
