Reggae African
Tiken Jah Fakoly

Tiken Jah Fakoly has become an icon on the African continent, and the most renowned francophone reggae artist in the world. His flair for combining catchy Reggae beats with serious and compelling lyrics has made him a mouthpiece for a whole generation of music fans, who embrace the political and social issues in his songs.

Tiken has been awarded several gold records, numerous prizes (RFI, SACEM) and a Victoire de la Musique, and is recognized worldwide as a dedicated and militant artist.

After the great successes in Africa (with only five albums released there), he became a big star in Europe as well, with multiple gold record sales and performances at the biggest festivals and in many halls and arenas. Live, Tiken Jah Fakoly is hard to beat in terms of energy. In German-speaking countries, he has been a guest several times at Summerjam, Chiemsee Reggae and Sunplash Wiesen.

Tiken Jah Fakoly will release a new album in 2024 and present a new program: he will perform with an acoustic band of West African musicians and play the songs from his 25-year career.
