Bojah & the Insurrection

Bojah and the Insurrection first gained national attention during the rise of opposition to the US invasion of Iraq. Performing at anti-war rallies and events of tens of thousands in Central Park, Boston, DC, and Chicago, the band quickly became a featured guest at many colleges across the country. Their anti-police brutality anthems also brought them into the heart of embattled Black communities from Cincinnati to Philadelphia to New York City.
This talented ensemble performs a stunning live show that combines the best elements of soul, funk, hip hop and spoken word, and delivers a cutting edge political manifesto that hits hard like Public Enemy, funks like Sly and the Family Stone, and elevates like Bob Marley. That's why their brand of spoken soul hop is the fusion for today's confusion.
Controversy is also a companion to a band like this. And if they haven't gotten your attention yet they certainly have the attention of Uncle Sam. Bandleader, Bojah, is currently fighting an attempt by the US government to penalize him for performing at the 9th International Hip Hop festival in Havana in August of 2003. This fight has become a flashpoint in a worldwide controversy over U.S.-Cuba relations.
Establishing themselves as Domeland Security in a direct battle of ideas with White House, Hollywood, MTV, BET, and Grammy propaganda, Bojah and the Insurrection seem destined to takeover the airwaves in your town and in your mind. In a time where mass disinformation and maniuplation of images is the order of the day, Bojah and the Insurrection are what we all need to keep our minds free.
The band is touring periodically at events and venues across the country while finishing their first studio album Severe Funk Alert.
