They made the day!

What a great experience for all, having them play at our corporate anniversary island vibe event! Roland is very personable, talented, and pleasant to coordinate with. They played the crowd at our art gallery with the right timing and perfect mix of background music, vocal and instrumental, and got people dancing too!

About

A recent opening act for Bob Marley’s band (The Wailers), Roland & The Roots Riddim is a dynamic roots reggae band. Their sound can be described as Bob Marley meets Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and Santana in the cultural roots of West Africa. They are an established, professional, and accomplished band that’s been writing, recording, and performing over a Decade. They are a team of talented, hard- working musicians, and singers who are all lovers of Africa, Reggae Music, and enjoy sharing positive vibes with all people.

The band’s high energy is influenced and directed by the lead-singer and frontman, Roland 'Mista Muzic' Kemokai - a West African, Texas-based singer, songwriter, composer, pianist, published author, guitarist, bassist, and music producer. Born in Liberia, West Africa, Roland was discarded on a dump-pile as a baby. He struggled through poverty, violent abuses, and the Liberian civil war while utilizing remarkable gifts of strength, perseverance, and his music to survive. As a result of his life experiences, Roland’s music focuses on community building, empowerment for the African diaspora, positive thinking, and the potential for greatness within us all. Roland’s music is streaming on all music and video platforms under his name, Roland Kemokai. His book, SUNUMA, is also available online and in various bookstores.

For a high energy show, Roland & The Roots Riddim’s set list is a mixture of classic Reggae covers and catchy original compositions – mixing roots reggae, soul, rock, and traditional African influences to provide an amazing experience that’s inspiring and entertaining.
