Featuring some of the best reggae musicians from the

Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic,

Zimbabwe, Denmark and Ireland „The Light Runners? are a rare treat

with a backstory as exciting and interesting as their music. Some

members have fled dictatorships, spent years touring the world with

soukous bands, led gospel choirs and performed on „The Late Late

Show? while others have been busting their chops touring and

grooving their way across some of Europe?s finest festivals and a support slot with the Wailers themselves!

Staying true to "roots reggae? the band have been in and

out of the studio recording their albums that preach “one love,

peace and harmony” in times of fake news, war, migration, and

xenophobia. Blending their own original music with Jamaican,

African and English reggae The Light Runners have quickly become

synonymous with hypnotic hooks and fluid vocal harmonies with a

distinctly African flair. The head of this international super group

Lazare Mbouwoua and his enigmatic and energetic performances are

sure to bring a smile to your face and people of all ages
