“THANKS & PRAISE”

ASHA D & ARTIKAL BAND

FRIDAY OCTOBER 21, 2022

Asha D comes to offer you a brand new project, composed with Artikal Band.

We are delighted to present the first track “Thanks and praises”

Two common words in the Jamaican vocabulary to give praise to the creator and thank heaven and earth.

A reggae, roots, one drop track to send blessings and positive vibes around us all. A deep conviction: that the people unite instead of dividing.

This is a new step for Asha D and Artikal Band. Usually, it is in backing band mode that they go on stage for many artists from the French and Jamaican scene and in particular Yaniss Odua since 2010.

This time they are getting ready to send Asha D, also the band's drummer, to the front of the stage!!

He is accompanied by Artikal Band, Backing band reggae, formed in 1995 in Montpellier in France. The group has forged its experience through unexpected artistic encounters over the years.
