Africa Unite is an influential Italian reggae band, deeply rooted in the music scene since their inception in 1981. Named after a song by Bob Marley, they have long stood out for their dedication to social issues and the promotion of peace and equality through music. The band was founded in Pinerolo, Turin, and originally began as a cover band, producing renditions of Marley's songs, but they quickly evolved to write and perform their own material.
Over the years, Africa Unite has built a robust discography and a dedicated following, not just within Italy but internationally. Their sound blends traditional reggae rhythms with elements of rock, punk, and dub, and their lyrics often articulate a critique of social injustice, conveying messages of solidarity and resistance. Albums such as "Non è Fortuna," which exemplifies their mix of passion and politics, along with the energetic "People Pie" from 2021, and the reflective "In Tempo Reale," a live album that captures the dynamism of their performances, contribute to their respected status. Continually adapting and exploring their sound, Africa Unite's commitment to both their craft and their message has made them a mainstay on the European reggae scene.
