Nigerian reggae star Ras Kimono dies at 60
Nigeria’s reggae star Ukeleke Onwubuya , popularly known as Ras Kimono, is dead.
The 60-year-old Asaba born, Delta State, died on Sunday, according to close family sources which revealed that the musician was rushed to a hospital in Ikoyi after he slumped on Saturday.
The President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Mr Pretty Okafor, described the reggae artiste's death as a big loss to the music industry.
Ras Kimono, whose debut album, Under Pressure, led by the single Rum-Bar Stylée, was a big hit on the Nigerian music scene in 1989 .
Had other hits
Besides Under Pressure which was released in 1989, Ras Kimono had other hits, including, We No Wan in 1989, What's Gwan in 1990 and Rub A Dub released in 1990.
Ras Kimono won many prizes, including City People Movie Lifetime Achievement Award.
He hit the Nigerian music scene in 1989, before releasing his solo album.
Ras Kimono was in a group called The Jastix along with Amos McRoy and Majek Fashek.
His music was greatly influenced by the poverty, inequality and hardship he witnessed in his early life.
A loyal fan-base
He released Under Pressure on the Premier Music label in 1989, which propelled him to instant continental stardom.
The album had hits like Under Pressure, Natty get jail and the massive hit Rhumba style.
Ras Kimono later released a string of hit albums, touring all over Africa, Europe and the US, promoting his brand of reggae music.
By 2010, he was still performing to a loyal fan-base of all ages and his music is still played throughout Africa.
Ras Kimono served a long apprenticeship on the Nigerian music circuit, experimenting with a number of styles, before making his late 80s breakthrough as a reggae singer.

No Woman
A choir of Bahraini men singing a cover of iconic Bob Marley’s reggae song “No Woman, No Cry”!!!!
The video sparked mixed reactions on Twitter. Some praised the stylish remake and others pointed to the state of women’s rights in Gulf monarchies. TUNE……
A video of the band led by Bahraini singer Mohammed Al Bakri was posted on the Tunes Arabia YouTube channel on Thursday. The cover of the Bob Marley song shows the all-male choir dressed in traditional thobes and gowns and even some fiery dancing to the reggae tune.
The song, released in 1974 by Bob Marley and the Wailers, addresses a poor woman growing up in the Jamaican slums, promising that things will be “alright” and asking her not to cry. In Jamaican Patois, the title line is rendered “No, woman, nuh cry,” where “nuh” stands for “don’t.”
Some Twitterati praised the cover, calling it a “kick-ass Bahraini version” of the reggae hit, and even“the best thing I’ve seen all week.” Others did not share the excitement saying that “things can’t get any weirder.”
