On-U Sound

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.

New Wave / Post Punk

2011 album available on vinyl for the first time. Master percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah joins forces once again with dubmaster Adrian Sherwood at the controls and a whole host of guest musicians, including contributions from dancehall pioneer Jazzwad and electronics from Adamski. All the elements of a classic African Head Charge album are present: spaced out dub, tribal chants, ecstatic trance, but updated with a rugged sound system undercarriage. Arguably some of the hardest hitting AHC rhythms laid down in the studio to date. Part of an extensive reissue campaign that sees all of African Head Charge’s 1990 - 2011 work presented in lovingly put together new editions, a companion to the reissue of the band’s early work that On-U Sound undertook in 2016.
