RISE'N'SHINE
THE BEGINNING

In balance - united in diversity

Rise'n'Shine is an afro-reggae band with members originating in Tanzania, Germany and Uganda. All musicians have worked already in different genres of music from African Fusion, Gospel, Reggae and Jazz.
Inspired by meeting the two musicians from Uganda, Phillip and CG, at Sauti za Busara Festival 2018, Bahati created a band that combines many years of musical experience and the love for live music.

The energy was just right between the musicians, it was such a positive vibe, that CG and Phillip never hesitated to come all the way from Entebbe to Mwanza. Bibi Fire joined the band soon as the first female drummer. The love to live reggae music made it to play the first concert "Reggae on the Rocks" already in April 2018! That was the starting point to many other international concerts all over east Africa. On international events Christian Mgana joint the band on the keys. The latest member to join us was Mariam the Drummer in 2019. She took over on the drums while Bibi Fire concentrated more on singing. The band was complete now... and ready for much more to come! Nothing could stop us from spreading our message of positive vibes, peace, love, and unity in diversity!
