REGISTER ON EVENTBRITE:

Kebra Ethiopia Sound system (Glory to Africa) has been playing Reggae Roots music at township community parks for over ten years. It was established in Kwa-Thema, one of the townships located in the south-west of the East Rand in Gauteng, South Africa. By using Reggae music as a tool: it is a movement that concerns itself with community upliftment, socio-economic issues, ghetto living and spreading Pan African teachings. Throughout this activism it has been able to recruit and inspire the community: by offering a safe socializing space of meditation. The music communicates spiritually, thereby maintaining African pride embedding roots and culture with authentic integrity.
