Boom Shaka


Based in Southern California, Boom Shaka is keeping roots reggae music alive and well. Founded just after the peak 80’s reggae Renaissance (lead by such notables as Black Uhuru and UB40, by singer / songwriter Trevy Felix, Boom Shaka has developed a serious following over the years with their brand of Peter Tosh-inspired sounds. Unlike some reggae, which leaps from genre to genre and primarily extols the virtues of a laid- back “party all the time” lifestyle, issues in Boom Shaka’s social and political landscape sculpt and shape their lyrics, giving them the raw intensity and emotion of a Dominican tenement. Boom Shaka has toured the world and have released a series of albums since their inception. Trevy Felix is the lead singer and plays guitar. He is accompanied by his brother Bass-I on bass, Lester Fari on lead guitar, Shaka Man on drums and Little George on keyboards. The result is a potent distillation of message and music, draped in harmonies and rhythm.
