About Me


"GENERATION" is RE-RELEASED!!!!!

But only as a limited expanded and remastered edition.

Ben has long been a communicator of meaningful spiritual songs that touch on the needs and injustices of the world and of man's inhumanity to man as well as extolling his God and His love for every person. "GENERATION" was his first release with Plankton and it garnered rave reviews from the critics in the UK and all around the world as well as firmly establishing him as a talented musician and songsmith, with a message and a mission. His ability to mix the African music influences of his upbringing (which included troubled times as a boy soldier) with his love of Reggae and Jazz and his dynamic live performances have seen him become a regular performer and speaker (and actor) at the Greenbelt Festival, as well as touring extensively in the UK, Europe, the USA, India and his beloved Africa. The CD features such live favorites as "Sanctify My Soul" and "Living in a Suitcase" and the stunning, powerful title track.

For this special CD, Ben has re-recorded three songs that were originally written and recorded just after the "GENERATION" sessions but have never been available before in any form. These new recordings are the first to come from his brand new studio in Worchestershire, and they fit perfectly onto the album and are a must for any BEN OKAFOR fan.

SINGER / SONGWRITER
-- He can’t be confined to the Reggae/World music genre. Ben’s music moves between the rich lyrical AFRICAN heritages to CLASSIC FOLK protest to the driving REGGAE beats. He calls his multifarious genre “Socio-spiritual consciousness.” This genre goes beyond entertainment and seeks to serve the betterment of all.

ACTIVIST / ADULT ARTIST
– He is articulate, intelligent, yet compassionately engaged with the struggles of those least able to represent themselves. He is non-compromising in his fight for justice, peace, love. He takes his platform seriously and expects nothing less than perfection from himself. Ben is a man of stature, substance and genuine spiritual sensibilities.

AFRICAN RENAISSANCE MAN
--He is a masterful guitarist and accomplished poet. He is equally at ease with peasants and presidents....grounded in the certain knowledge that Africans are fully capable of speaking for themselves, and finding the solutions to their own dilemmas etc.

ACTOR
-- Ben is also an accomplished actor having been featured in a number of highly acclaimed shows.
Record Label: Plankton Records
