SUPPORT
INTERNATIONAL ROOTS & CULTURE REGGAE ARTIST LUTAN FYAH

Lutan Fyah is a revolutionary spirit and with his 5 peice band they are delivering a message of love, peace, justice, unity and community through hard hitting reggae dancehall rythmns and lyrics, on stages all over the world.

Born and raised in Spanish Town in Kingston, Jamaica Lutan’s initial influence of African consciousness was instilled by his grandfather Tamba, and his spiritual identity is rooted in Rastafar-I, Bobo Ashanti.

Musically speaking, Lutan was heavily influenced by all four of his grandparents. One of his grandmothers, Ms. Esmay, was the very first to teach him actual range levels in singing, however both grandmothers were known to be powerful singers. One of Lutan’s grandfathers (Tamba) owned and played one of the very first Rumba Box instruments which still remains in the family today and he also played the harmonica, of which he eventually gifted to Lutan when he was a young boy. When Lutan was a teenager, both of his grandfathers hosted weekly parties on their lawns–affectionatelly coined the Tamba Harmony Hall and the Ackee Wackee Hall–at which friends like Coxsone Dodd who lived nearby, Joe Gibbs, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Alton Ellis, Hortense Ellis, Stereograph, Jah Love, Wasp, Volcano and many other reggae legends would be present, enjoying music and/or playing dominoes. His grandfather Tamba also owned a sound system, the then popular Black I-niverse of which Coxsone Dodd used to share music with and in those times you might have seen Lutan playing the sound and blowing a few amps as well.

OPENING ACT: Droop Lion – Known for his breakout hit, ‘Freeway’, Droop Lion is revolutionizing reggae music with his soul-searing voice, inspirational songs and awe-inspiring live performances.

Part of our venue’s effort to bring quality, fun, and affordable events, concerts, and bands to 4th avenue in downtown Tucson, AZ.
