This is an exceptional show with Cape Town’s most-loved reggae band, The Rivertones, paying tribute to reggae legends Bob Marley from Jamaica, UB40 from the UK, and Eddy Grant from Guyana in their hit show, “Reggae Night”. The band had the honour of supporting Ali Campbell’s UB40 during their South African tour in 2023.
The Rivertones, founded in 2006 by lead vocalist Roland Geoffrey Nair, who made his stage debut at age 12, also perform internationally with their energetic, skanking, joyful, old-school reggae sound, promoting a message of “one love.” During the 1980s, the reggae scene flourished in South Africa, and Roland emerged as a pioneering figure alongside bands like Survival, Dread Warriors, Rapula, and African Vibes in Johannesburg. Roland had the privilege of performing with Bob Marley’s legendary band, The Wailers, in Cape Town in 2009. His successful vocal performance led to an invitation to tour with Bunny Wailer during a Reunion Island tour. Roland performed in 15 countries to crowds of 75,000, sharing the stage with The Wailers. Apart from supporting UB40 on May 30, 2023 (Grand West, Cape Town), and June 1 and 2, 2023 (ICC, Durban), The Rivertones also performed at the UB40 after-party event at Grand West during the band’s first visit to South Africa. Roland has shared stages with artists like PJ Powers, Hugh Masekela, and Lucky Dube.
The Rivertones’ performance features Bob Marley reggae classics such as “One Love,” “Is This Love,” “No Woman No Cry,” “Buffalo Soldier,” and “Could You Be Loved.” They also deliver popular UB40 hits like “Kingston Town,” “Red Red Wine,” “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” and Eddy Grant songs like “Electric Avenue,” “I Don’t Wanna Dance,” “Do You Feel My Love,” and “Hope Jo’anna,” along with other reggae favourites. Prepare to jam to the sounds of Bob Marley, UB40, and Eddy Grant—this is reggae at its finest!
