Tiken Jah Fakoly – The Voice of African Reggae

Ivorian reggae star Tiken Jah Fakoly is one of the most influential voices in African reggae. With powerful lyrics and energetic rhythms, he delivers a message of social justice, resistance, and hope. Since the 1990s, he has used his music as a weapon against corruption, inequality, and oppression—both in Africa and around the world. Coming from a family of griots (oral historians who pass down the stories of their land), Tiken Jah Fakoly carries this tradition forward with passion and fire.

His music is deeply rooted in the legacy of reggae icons like Bob Marley, Lucky Dube, and Alpha Blondy, while incorporating a distinct African sound. Albums such as ‘Coup de Gueule,’ ‘L’Africain,’ and ‘Braquage de Pouvoir’ have earned him global acclaim, featuring major hits like ‘Plus rien ne m’étonne’ and ‘African à Paris.’ With captivating live performances and unwavering commitment to his cause, Tiken Jah Fakoly continues to inspire millions worldwide.

In an era of social and political turmoil, he remains a powerful voice for change. For Tiken Jah Fakoly, music is more than just entertainment—it’s a call for a better future. After a sold-out world tour in 2024, he returns this summer for an exclusive concert in OLT Rivierenhof, Belgium. Joined by traditional West African musicians, he will deliver a unique acoustic set, performing the greatest hits from his 25+ year career. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the spirit and soul of African reggae live!
