King of Roots Reggae warms up London for Notting Hill Carnival festivities
His name is a combination of the Rastafarian term for God and that of a Zulu warrior, Shaka Zulu. His unrelenting ‘warrior style’ has inspired a whole host of new Reggae artists including the Disciples, Jah Warrior and Aba Shanti-I. Having operated a south east London-based Jamaican sound system since the 1970s and with over three decades of experience delivering the ‘Message of Unity’ to enraptured audiences, who could be better qualified to prepare London for Notting Hill Carnival than Jah Shaka? The raucous riddims, masterful musicianship and touching spirituality incorporated in each of his shows build high expectations for the Pre-Carnival Celebration at the Dome, which only the King of Roots Reggae can be trusted to fulfill. “Some people might dream mentally, but I get my dreams through my ears” (Jah Shaka, 1984). Tickets are £15 and available from TicketWeb or direct from the venue.
