Isaac Haile Selassie can perform acoustically or with a band.
Isaac has joined the "Reggae Masters Live Tour" for March and April with Kingman and Jonah featuring 'Roots Master' Claudius Linton and Ansel 'Double Barrel' Collins. This is a Motown-style revue with the Kingman and Jonah band backing all three headliners.
In the annals of reggae music and its devotion to Emperor Haile Selassie, one thing becomes striking by its absence: the lack of Ethiopian voices giving thanks and praise to the Almighty God through the teachings of His Majesty. Now, from Addis Ababa, by way of Southern California, comes a striking new voice whose direct links to the King of Kings are stronger than any other singer and player of instruments this century has known.
Isaac has performed at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival (Marysville, CA) Roots Mountain ReggaeNorthwest Reggae Fest (Seattle, WA and Portland, OR), Roots Revolution Festival(Montana), Lake Casitas World Music Festival (Ojai, CA), One Root World Music Festival (Sacramento, CA) and was a headliner on the 2000 Annual Bob Marley Exodus Festival, traveling and performing throughout Texas and Arizona. He has played shows in Toronto, Canada, Boston and Cambridge, MA, Virginia, Boulder and Denver, CO and continues to tour and perform.
Ethiopia's history has been a struggle toward
unity during the past millennium.
I contribute this music for Ethiopians
at home and abroad who starve for peace and unity
and for Africans and the rest of the world
who pray for happier times to come for all of us.
