The Ghanaian musicians Ras Opoku and his band D’Jah-Nerations make „AfroReggae“ with an African message. The style combines traditional African rhythms and Jamaican roots reggae.
Ras Opoku sings in two languages: Twi (Ashanti), his mother tongue, and English, the colonial language. Speaking of colonialism, neo-colonialism and slavery, his message insists on this and it is called „African Justice through Ras Tafari“.
Anyone who has seen them at one of their other gigs knows that they are a guarantee for the best party atmosphere. Light clothing is recommended, because after 5 minutes at the latest, the mood for dancing spreads, which has turned each of their performances into a big party.
The group owes this not least to their frontman Ras Opoku, who has dedicated his life to spreading positive vibrations in the spirit of the Rasta philosophy. Together with the rest of the band, they want to share their joy of music, their zest for life and their faith with the audience in order to achieve what is most important to them: party on stage, party in front of the stage, party everywhere.
Afro Reggae from Ghana
„Don’t worry about a thing“, let your body go with the rhythm and remember that beneath the asphalt lies the beach.
Ras Opoku (The African Teacher) and his band „D’Jah-Nerations“ bring summer to the concert halls. The voice of frontman Ras Opoku, of course a charismatic Rasta man with tremendous joy of playing and a fresh, natural stage presence, gives you goosebumps. You close your eyes, and then…
The repertoire consists of songs from the new CD entitled „Pass It On“, and the two other CDs entitled „Yenka No Bokoo“, and „The Smile On Your Face“ which he wrote as a songwriter, frontman and lead vocalist with the group „Dread Fusion“, and also pieces by Bob Marley and other legends of reggae music.
