Delhi-based reggae group nominated for British award

New Delhi, March 1

New Delhi-based music group Reggae Rajahs has been nominated in the best international band/group award at the British Reggae Industry Awards (BRIA), to be held in October.

The BRIA are aimed at promoting reggae music and ensuring that the genre develops and grows not just in Britain, but internationally too.

The Reggae Rajahs is a trio of Diggy Dang, Mr. Herbalist and DJ MoCity. The group came together early 2009, and since then, they have been introducing the Indian masses to an eclectic mix of reggae, dub, lovers rock, ska and dancehall.

An excited Dang said: "We've been nominated in the best international group or band and it's a privilege just to be nominated. We're sharing nominations with bands that have almost given birth to the reggae scene, like The Mighty Diamonds, Toots and the Maytals among others.

"It would be huge even if we got into the top five. I think it's also brilliant because it will help us get recognised for the work we are doing in promoting the scene and it will be greatly helpful in giving the scene a boost. I'm hoping we get noticed in those terms," he added.

The winners of BRIA will be decided upon through votes, and the last day for voting is April 30. Votes can be cast on www.britreggae.com/vote.php

Meantime, Reggae Rajahs are set to tour Europe this summer, having been invited to play at Outlook Festival (Croatia), a fest celebrating sound system culture and bass heavy music.

They are also planning to release their first single and music video this year.
