Blakk Rasta is Ghana's Number One Reggae Star and the founder of Kuchoko — a genre that fuses the heart of roots reggae with African rhythm, language and instrumentation. For more than twenty-five years he has stood at the frontline of conscious music on the continent.
From the slums of Tamale to stages shared with Alpha Blondy, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Capleton and the Marley family, his career has been built on consciousness, fearlessness and a sound entirely his own.
Raised in northern Ghana, carrying the language, drum patterns and plain speech of the north into everything he has recorded since.
Released in November 2007 — the first anywhere in the world, and the only one the President ever publicly endorsed.
The tribute helped bring Barack Obama to Ghana on his first visit to that part of Africa. The two met and shared dinner.
Honoured at the Ghana Radio & TV Awards for two decades of putting conscious music on the national airwaves.
Twenty tracks recorded live across Ghana, France, the USA and Jamaica, featuring Anthony B and Tiken Jah Fakoly — released in an era of singles and EPs.
