Brooklyners Reggae Band

Brooklyners Reggae Band is billed at Red Rooster Harlem for an afternoon performance on November 7. No individual performers or specific program are listed for this date, so the billed name is the clearest guide to the set. The group is associated with reggae standards and original songs, while Red Rooster presents live music alongside Harlem-rooted cooking and a full bar in its dining room.

The Brooklyners are a New York City reggae band that began in Brooklyn, bringing together musicians from different countries and backgrounds. Their repertoire has been described as an “acoustic cocktail of roots Reggae standards and original material in English,” and has included Jamaican standards, French classics and original spiritual tunes. They work in flexible four to seven-piece lineups; a previously listed quartet featured David Langlois, Ras Abda G, Kikkah Jackson and Bryan Benhingove. The band has worked with Rock & Roll Playhouse Productions for four years as a Bob Marley cover band, with Marley tribute shows at Brooklyn Bowl and The Capitol Theatre among the dates noted. One customer review called them “fabulous,” adding that it was “wonderful to see customers get up to dance.”
