About Me

"The band's brand of music is reggae. It is easy to read this and think"Oh, another one of those mediocre reggae bands" but the St. Petersband is one with a difference. The band has developed a unique style ofa blend of Nigerian traditional music with classic reggae, coming outwith what they call 'Roost Rock Akete', which is a fusion oftraditional Dagbala music from Akoko Edo area of the country. The St. Peters Band Experience was founded in August 1995 by OmokafeUnuokake. He had his musical training by attending Victory School ofMusic in Jos from 1990 to 1993. After he formed his band in 1995, hefeatured alongside Andy Shepherd Jazz Band from the UK at the BritishCouncil in Kano. The following year, the Band performed in the Benson &Hedges Mega Music Shakedown at the Kano pillars stadium for an audienceof over forty thousand. Other big shows in which the Band has featuredin recent times include the 1999 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria BeautyPageant and the Nigerian International Song Festival (NIASOFEST) 2001to commemorate the 21st Bob Marley's Tribute. This year, the band finished recording their debut album. Handshake N'Handcuff.
