Greetings!
STRUGGLAH is a progressive, hardworking, determined, roots and culture Reggae band. STRUGGLAH came together on February 5th, 1995 and in 1997 they released their first album/CD entitled "Consciousness". In 2002, they continued to spread their message by releasing a single titled "Jah Jah Run De Earth". Staying committed to the music, by being consistent, active and true to the roots; In 2004, STRUGGLAH was blessed again to release their sweet and mellow second full length album/CD entitled "People All Over The World." This album was instrumental in bringing STRUGGLAH to the first ever MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL REGGAE FESTIVAL, in which they performed alongside THE ITALS, JUNIOR REID, JUNIOR KELLY and COCOA TEA.
Over the years, along the musical journey, STRUGGLAH has been blessed to share the the stage with such foundation artists and bands, which include THE WAILERS, JIMMY CLIFF and BURNING SPEAR. Also STRUGGLAH backed up artists such as KEN BOOTH, LEROY SIBBLE, HALF PINT, CAROL BROWN and many more. STRUGGLAH has been most recently touring western Canada, with a strong focus on Calgary and surrounding areas. Currently the band has been getting much airplay and positive feedback in the Caribbean, which is shining a light towards a brighter future.
Music is the voice of the people which expresses the desire for JUSTICE, PEACE and LOVE. ONE LOVE from STRUGGLAH...as the STRUGGLAH continues.........

We play clubs, pubs, stage shows, concerts, weddings and parties.
Of all earthly music, that which reaches farthest into heaven is the beating of a truly loving heart. To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind. Dance Like nobody's watching. Love Like you've never been hurt. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. Make love YOUR greatest weapon and none on who U call can defend against its force....YOUR love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day. To make SOMEONE happy, fill THEIR hands with work, THEIR heart with affection, THEIR mind with purpose, THEIR memory with useful knowledge, THEIR future with hope, and THEIR stomach with GOOD food. ONE LOVE - ADDIS ALEM
