Reggae / Dub

Experimental/tribal percussion act with a heavy dub and 'world' music slant led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. African Head Charge has been active since forming in 1981, with various members throughout the years. Initially, the band served as a platform for Adrian Sherwood's experimental side on the On-U Sound label. However, as time went on, Bonjo's role became more prominent, eventually becoming vocalist and main multi-percussion instrumentalist. They have released several albums and continue to perform live shows worldwide.
African Head Charge's early music was primarily written by Adrian Sherwood but evolved over time to include contributions from other writers such as Skip McDonald of Tackhead. Despite these changes, Bonjo remained a constant feature in the band.
With an ever-changing lineup, African Head Charge remains active to this day and continues to captivate audiences around the world with their unique blend of experimental sounds and tribal rhythms.

The legendary collaboration between master percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and producer Adrian Sherwood return with their first new studio album in twelve years. Originally conceived in 1981 as an attempt to make Brian Eno’s “vision of a psychedelic Africa” exist in musical form, the project has evolved and mutated over the years but all the hallmarks of their classic sound are present and correct on this record: hypnotic hand drums driving rhythms to move your head and feet; coupled with mind-bending arrangements and dubwise production. Inimitable guest vocals by the award winning Ghanaian kologo master, King Ayisoba lend an extra dimension.&nbsp;
