SKA & REGGAE NIGHT w/ MIVULE, BREHDREN & PHONOSONICS
About this Event
The Cobalt presents a night of reggae, ska, and Afrobeat with three of the West Coast's best.
Mivule (Vancouver, BC)
An Afro-reggae band blending reggae, Afrobeat, dub, and world music with lyrics in English, Luganda, and Swahili. Fronted by South Sudanese-Ugandan singer-songwriter Brian Baroda, Mivule takes its name from an East African teak tree that served as a gathering place for villagers to seek justice and resolve conflict. The band carries that same spirit of unity and peace into deep, groove-based sets built to move a room.
Brehdren (Vancouver, BC)
Formed in East Vancouver in 2010, Brehdren is an upbeat, theatrical ska and reggae outfit with four studio albums and hundreds of shows behind them, including sold-out runs at the Wise Hall and a stage shared with NYC ska legends The Slackers. Equal parts irreverent and tight, Brehdren is a band built to be seen live.
Phonosonics (Victoria, BC)
Victoria's premiere rocksteady and roots reggae outfit, Phonosonics specialize in an authentic, danceable take on 1960s and 70s Jamaican music. Led by Spencer Cleave, the band has shared stages with The Wailers and played Rifflandia and the Victoria Ska and Reggae Festival.
