One way or another we are going to make you feel good. Please feel free to visit our main domain ShakaBuku.com to find out more about CDs, good vibes and other essentials. Shaka Buku (pronounced Shocka Bookoo) Sound familiar? Dubbed "Hands down the funkiest Reggae band on the planet" by Sound Connection this band delivers a crowd shakin mix of Reggae, Rock, Funk, Jazz & Hip Hop which is unforgettable. The band takes its stage moniker from a Japanese Buddhist term which loosely translates to the goal of their music "To remove suffering and bring happiness to all people by awakening them to their inherent greatness." While such a lofty goal might prove daunting to most, Shaka Buku attacks it with pure passion on tracks like "I'm Alive" and "Zion Come My Way" with their universal message and uplifting choruses giving them the title "Music for the Masses" by Reggae Reviews.Com. With 2 independantly released CD's on Empower Records and a third due out in November Shaka Buku has sold over 6,500 CDs for good reason. They awaken the sleeping giant inside us all. When unleashed this giant gives us the power to live our dreams.Shaka Buku was created by Chad Nellis who formed Shaka Buku in 1999. In 2002 Chad met Pancho Tomaselli -bass player for War- and together they have created this musical masterpiece of diversity called Shaka Buku.THE BAND IS: Chad on guitar and lead vocals, Colin on lead guitar, L Rey on trombone, Nick on the bass, Mark on the drums, and Z on the sax.
