biographyWho is Rascalimu Born Carlos Alidu Mumuni in Tamale, the northern part of Ghana. Rascalimu started studying music when he was 8 years old. He often gathered his younger brothers to play with instruments that they created He also loved to sing by this age and easily picked up songs played on the radio. His initial attempts to join bands failed because no one shared his musical vision. Discouraged, he decided to attend Tumu secondary school In Ghana where he studied English, Literature ,Mathematics, World History, French Agriculture and Bible studies. Rascalimu graduated from Tumu secondary school in June,1984. Scholarship opportunities took Rascalimu to North Africa and Europe.. It was during this time that he was introduced to some local musicians. These musicians, after having heard the voice of Rascalimu and the way he sang, made intresting comments which once again moved him to further pursue with full speed what he loves to do (music) With the passion still inside of him to sing, he left no stone unturned in attempting to make music his career, However, there was yet another obstacle to face, No money to back his dreams. When his academic program in Europe ended, he went back to Ghana and was still faced with the same obstacle, no one believing in his dreams and no money to support it. In 1987 he made several trips from west to North Africa through Malaysia and finally to Taipei(Taiwan) in 1989 where he then settled and worked for two years. While in Taipei, he was introduced to an Australian reggae group that was playing in a club called Absolute. They embraced him immediately and he became a member of the band where he served as a lead vocalist and percussionist. The band left for Thailand after their six months contract ended but Rascalimu remained in Taipei to earn some money and to gain more musical experience doing live performances. He remained in Taipei honing his musical skills for two years then decided to return to Ghana. On his journey back to Ghana, Rascalimu stopped off in Thailand and it was there he made acquaintances with yet another reggae group (T.. Bone) that was signed to Mousa/Warner Brothers(Thailand) the only reggae band in Thailand at that time He played with this band throughout Bangkok and on the Island of Kho Samui and then moved to Pattaya where he lived and played in clubs throughout the area. After years of writing and seeking opportunity to record, RASCALIMU finally got that chance in the US in 1996 when an introduction to a producer and singer Judah Eskender Tafari led to the recording of 9 demo songs.
