Introducing Rohantha Reggae from Sri Lanka...


From an island of unspeakable beauty, out of a society wrought with struggle, emerges an artist whose music carries a sublime message of hope, perseverance, unity, peace and love. Rohantha Reggae is the first Reggae artist coming from Sri Lanka. It was in 2000 that he performed the first Reggae concert ever in Sri Lanka, in the town hall of Nuwara Eliya. He continued playing university, beach side and street concerts throughout Sri Lanka in the years to follow.

In 2003 he took his music to Germany, in 2004 to Austria. In 2006-2007 he shared his music with a wide audience in the US. He now has friends in countries around the world, including Jamaica, Italy, France, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, USA, Japan, England, Australia, Slovenia, Costa Rica and more.

His Reggae journey began as early as 1986 when he first heard Reggae rhythms and was so moved by them that he did in depth research into this genre. He studied and learned as much as he could about the origins and ways of Reggae. During his search, Bob Marley became his favorite music artist and to this day remains his top inspiration. For Rohantha it became a way of life and a soul journey. “The vibration stayed with me and made me to think about What is the energy of Nature? Who am I? and What is this life, really? It opened a spiritual path for me of staying very close to Nature and people. I see Reggae as a music style that can help us realize ourself--a way to self-realization.”

Rohantha’s primary message for all is:

“Peace and Love--to make one foundation for every nation”
