Brooklyners Reggae Band

Brooklyners Reggae Band are billed at Red Rooster Harlem for a live set, with no guest artists, special program, release, tribute, or one-off lineup announced for this date. The event information does not specify which version of the group will appear: The Brooklyners’ working lineup can range from four to seven musicians. Their appearance forms part of Red Rooster’s restaurant setting, where live music accompanies a menu rooted in Harlem culinary traditions; the available listing gives no further detail about this particular engagement.

The Brooklyners are a New York City reggae band that began in Brooklyn, bringing together musicians from different countries and cultural backgrounds. French-born musician David “Jahwid” Langlois leads the group, whose repertoire includes Jamaican roots reggae, ska and rocksteady, Caribbean rhythms, originals, international favorites and occasional French classics. Depending on the lineup, the band may include drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, saxophone, melodica, percussion and multiple vocalists. They are regulars on the New York-area circuit, including a weekly reggae brunch at Red Rooster, and have presented Bob Marley tribute shows with Rock & Roll Playhouse Productions. A Yelp audience reviewer called the band “fabulous,” while Red Rooster replied that their music “got everyone up and dancing.”
