Rasta Birthday
Overview
In celebration of what would have been his 80th birthday, RASTA BIRTHDAY 2026 honours the life and legacy of the Hon. Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley, a global cultural icon whose music, message, and spirit reshaped the world.
More than an artist, Bob Marley was a voice for the oppressed, a messenger of peace, resistance, love, and unity, and a living symbol of Rastafari’s spiritual and cultural power.
His influence transcends generations, borders, and genres, making his birthday not just a moment of remembrance, but a global cultural milestone deeply aligned with the spirit of Black History Month.
Headlined by Fredlocks Asher & The Ultra Flex Crew, the evening will deliver an immersive live experience rooted in reggae, jazz, soul, Hip-Hop and conscious expression, reflecting the enduring spirit of Rastafari and its global impact on music, identity, and liberation.
The event will feature special performances by KASS 1, alongside an all-star lineup of respected artists and cultural voices including Sunray Grennan, Ras Nikhilesh,
Ras IWAH, Ras Daniel, E-Spliff, The Jazz Sistahs, Munkie, Kayo Lion , Gisto, Realije with musical selections throughout the night by DJ George Barrett.
In the true spirit of community and solidarity, a percentage of proceeds from RASTA BIRTHDAY will be donated to hurricane relief efforts in Jamaica, supporting recovery and rebuilding for those affected.
RASTA BIRTHDAY is more than a concert — it is a cultural gathering, a remembrance, and a reaffirmation of music as resistance, healing, and unity.
