Let's Talk Reggae in Colombia - Part Two
In the first part of this series of publications on the Reggae movement in Colombia I mentioned the Jamming Festival, and two groups that are of a remarkable trajectory in the national and international sphere, in this second part I want to mention an artist with a very particular voice and a Band composed of young people who joined in the search for a great dream, and have been achieving it.
On the website Reggaecolombia.com you can find relevant information regarding the Colombian Reggae movement, history of how it emerged and the first movements of that genre in this country, among other news updates. Once this point has been clarified, let's begin with the singer:
Ras Jahonnan
Another exponent of the Reggae rhythm in Colombia we have is:
Ras Jahonnan
No doubt he has a very, very particular voice. A native of Cali, his beginnings in music were as a DJ in a project called "Afrokolombia Sound System".
Currently his style is defined as Conscious reggae, within the themes he addresses in his songs are his experiences in the ghetto, cities, violence and racism.
In his concerts his main message is: "Jah day and night. Africa for Africans, Rastafary light of the world, unlike the decadent tendencies of this system. Reggae to educate and drums to praise Jah. "
In the following video you can see much of Colombia with the Reggae culture expressed in it.
