Ras Kimono the Rub A Dub Master took a bow from the stage of life at the age of 60 after storming the music scene with his style of reggae music but unknown to us there was a side of him that most of us his admirers never knew.
1 His adoring fans knew him as Ras Kimono but he was born under the name Ekeleke Elumelu an indigene of Delta State.
2 He like Bob Marley before going solo was in a group called Jastix with another reggae legend, The Rain Maker Majek Fashek.
3 Like legends Bob Marley and Fela his music was mostly against the corrupt practices of the ruling class as well as the colonial imperialists with songs like ‘Under Pressure’, ‘Kill Apartheid’
4 Ras Kimono though sang about marijuana legalization never smoked or even drank
5 He died on the same day as music legend, Ray Charles, political icons Marcus Garvey and Hafes al-Assad
Rest in Peace Ras Kimono long will your legacies live among us whom you have left behind. Any kind words for this departed legend?
