ACOUSTIC REGGAE

Namibia’s most celebrated reggae artist Ras Sheehama will be gracing the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre’s terrace for an acoustic show on 24 October.

Ras and his eight-piece band will take the audience on a musical journey, with a cocktail of Afro-reggae, roots-based dancehall rhythms and African ballads. Singing in Oshiwambo and English, his lyrics are a melting pot of politics, spirituality and social life. He’s been active in the Namibian music industry since inde- pendence, producing time- less hits like ‘Push and Pull’, ‘Innotila (don’t be afraid)’, and ‘Cassinga’, which made him a household name. Ras and his band are promising a vibrant stage performance. With a repertoire of more than seven albums to choose from, the band will bring you a mixture of his classics and his latest work, which will leave you wanting more. Tickets cost N$30 in advance at the FNCC, N$50 at the door. The show starts at 20h00.
