Reggae has potentially become a music phenomenon and a force which is globally engulfing frontiers of music.

For this reason gifted artists especially those in the third world see it as an opportunity and are comfortable to pursue their career by staying put in this pool of musical and cultural expression.

Next March, as usual Rocky Dawuni is expected to be in the country and will play a significant role in the 50th celebration of our country?s independence.

Rocky, rasta haired self expressed yet an introvert and by character chooses to remain behind the curtain, has successfully won an international acclaim for his first and second albums namely "The Moment" and "Crusade".

Nonetheless, it has become an established fact that Rocky is not a push over in reggae music but a committed star who has been a rootsman.

Rocky writes and sings his own compositions and sounds like Bob Marley perhaps this explains why he has been enjoying a very large spectacular following. No wonder at home he has been winning reggae song awards consistently from time to time.

But, more spectacular was his single "In Ghana" on the Crusade album which shot him into global fame and was licensed abroad on CD by Putumayo world music alongside a galaxy of great stars like South Africa?s Lucky Dube, Peter Rowan, Burning Spear and other selected few with Rocky?s songs on his albums emerging on various charts of the world.

Rocky?s global fame has largely emanated from a lot of unifying ranked music festivals at which he has prominently featured in America, which include Cartey Rhythm Dance festivals and Earth Music Festival just to mention a few.
