Rasman OAU is Bringing Back Reggae with his forthcoming album “Reggae is Back Again”

We were at the Media Signing of RAS OAU by Indices Records in Port Harcourt over the weekend.
It turns out to be a unique event- something we have not witnessed before in Port Harcourt.

We were privileged to not only witness the epic event but also met with Ras Edu Dickson JP, The Grand patron of Rastafarians in Nigeria who also double as the West Africa Representative of Rastas. 

During the official unveiling, while Ras OAU talked about his love for reggae which dated back to 1984, his commitment to bring back reggae and his forthcoming album “Reggae is Back Again ”, for the grand patron of reggae in Nigeria, it was about flashbacks, blessings, spiritual consciousness and the reggae movement in Nigeria and the world at large.

“Am the spiritual Father of OAU, and spiritual Father of many well known reggae super Stars including Late Raskimono. I raised him and also buried him when he died”. Grand Patron Edu Dickson said after blessing Ras OAU and thanking Indices Records for their efforts in sustaining the reggae culture in Nigeria.

We ended up with an interview with the man of the moment himself, Ras OAU to get more details about his forthcoming album “Reggae is Back Again”
