Empress Black Omolo Confirmed For Aarhus’ Bob Marley Celebration

Jam Link International, the organization that’s responsible for Aarhus’ Annual Bob Marley Celebration, has announced the full lineup for the 2024 staging. The event, which will take place on February 24th at Volume Village – Thomas Koppels Gade 201 – in Aarhus, Denmark, will deliver a mix of live music, sound-system juggling, and a digital exhibition centered on reggae music.

This year’s main headliner is Kenyan reggae artist Empress Black Omolo, who is now based in Holland (Netherlands). Omolo officially entered the music scene in 2013, which is when she shared her first recording, Love Your Life. Since then, she has toured all over Europe and has done shows in Jamaica, Brazil, and other regions around the globe, thus cementing her name on the world stage. 

In addition to Empress Black Omolo, the celebration will also feature Aarhus’ local reggae ensemble, One Love Marley Band; selectors DJ Henning, Booyaka Sound, and Denali Crew; as well as a cultural presentation by Danish writer Henrik Baek.

New Video From Ghost Ft. Bounty Killer “Despite It All”

At the end of January Ghost uploaded the official video for Despite It All to his YouTube channel. For those not in the know, this song – which is a collaboration done with Bounty Killer – was first shared in late September of 2023 via MS Music.

Literally a day after the video was published, Jamaica’s local government election date was announced. This information is relevant because the visuals tell the story of Jamaicans struggling to get by, while both political parties mislead the nation as they, the politicians, forge ahead.
