Reggae group Morgan Heritage announces Africa tour

Dubbed the Island Vibes Africa Tour, it will see the Grammy-winning trio make stops across eight cities on the continent, including Johannesburg and Cape Town (South Africa) Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Herare (Zimbabwe) and Accra (Ghana).

The tour is produced and managed by RAVE and Morgan Heritage’s CTBC Music Group.

“The mission of the partnership between Morgan Heritage and RAVE, a Pan-African live events company, is to act as the spark and ignition point to bring performers, labels, promoters and fans together to revive and scale the live touring circuit across the continent,” a statement reads.

On the road, Morgan Heritage will perform from their extensive catalogue hits and new material. They will also look to work with local talents on a collaborative album.

“Africa has always been home to us, which clearly shows in the immense support we have enjoyed over the years from the continent,” Morgan Heritage said. “This tour is our gift to our brothers and sisters at home. We look forward to entertaining every single fan in every country as we continue to strengthen the shared bonds between Africa and the Caribbean.”

“We look to systematise, scale, and sustain the live entertainment ecosystem in sub-Saharan Africa through innovative partnership modelling, technology resourcing and high production values,” RAVE CEO and executive producer of the tour Ruddy Kwakye said. “This tour will allow us to do that and deliver memorable experiences for the fans.”
