Live Music:
Amandla is Connecticut’s premier original roots reggae band. Derived from the Zulu Amandla, Awethu—Power to the People—Amandla has been paving the way for a new sound in reggae since 2009.
Originally formed in 2004 through a collaboration between singer/songwriter/musicians Burnie T and Kali Wale, Amandla represents the best in modern roots reggae. Years later, Amandla joined forces with internationally acclaimed reggae artist Ras Iba to form a powerhouse trinity.
With a unique sound and style harkening back to the days of Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, and the Wailers, inspired by the musical prowess of Steel Pulse and Aswad, and continuing into the present-day world-wide reggae diaspora, Amandla has delighted crowds up and down the East and West coasts, sharing the bandstand with reggae legends like Luciano, Third World, Beres Hammond, Ras Shiloh, Yellow Man, and more.
The band consists of:
-
Bernie T (Dominican)
-
Kali Wale (Connecticut native)
-
Ras Iba (St. Croix)
