Ras Sheehama to perform at Acoustic Fridays

The Franco-Namibian Culture Centre (FNCC) will later this month see one of Namibia's most celebrated reggae artists Ras Sheehama perform at the weekly Acoustic Fridays. The singer and songwriter will perform on October 25 at the FNCC Terrance. Ras's lyrics show consciousness, integrity, sharp observation and humanity, while conveying both socio-political criticism, as well as messages of peace, love and wisdom. Having grown up in several African countries, and having travelled to other continents, he has developed his own style of music that has a strong global appeal. With his 20 years of musical experience, Ras continues to capture audiences wherever he goes. He has performed at numerous festivals in Europe and in Africa and shared the stage with the likes of Manu Dibangu, Salif Keita, Ismael Lo, Lucky Dube, and Brenda Fassie. With seven albums to his name, he was twice awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for his music in Namibia and won the Last Band Standing competition in 2011. Tickets for the show cost N$30 in advance and N$40 at the door. WINDHOEK STAFF REPORTER
