Who is Fantan Mojah?
Fantan Mojah is a reggae rising star artiste who comes from Kingston, Jamaica. His music is a mix of roots, reggae and dance-hall which he claims is inspired by legends like Burning Spear and Buju Banton.
The artiste’s music strongly reflects his faith with him being a Rastafarian and his lyrics also tend to ‘preach’ about positivity and good energies.
The reggae artist began performing at music festivals in Jamaica and Down Sound Records released his first singles in 2004 which included, ‘Hungry’ and ‘Hail the King’
Pow Pow Movement Germany in the mid-1980s, Ingo Rheinbay (Selector) and Backra (MC) got to know each other and a short time later they found each other through randomly received mix-tapes for dancehall and reggae music.
A source of inspiration for the crew was English radio host David Rodigan’s show – Rodigan’s Rockers, broadcast on British military radio station BFBS.
They first started organising small reggae parties. Tillmann Otto, who later became known as a gentleman, soon joined them and took over the microphone at the events.
The beginning as a sound system under the name Pow Pow Movement was in 1990. During a trip to Jamaica in the early 1990s, where they delved deeper into Jamaican music culture.
In 1995 Pow Pow Movement got a permanent location and since then they have been DJing regularly on Fridays in Cologne’s Petit Prince club.
They are often found there performing to a full house every Friday and reggae lovers travel from all over to watch them live.
Pow Pow Movement has made a name for itself over the years and has rocketed in popularity among reggae fans, as reflected in the fact that Pow Pow Movement was featured in reggae magazine Riddim’s readership polls in 2003, 2004 and 2005 was voted best German sound system.
