Jah9 to Bring Roots Reggae & Wellness to Japan with First-Ever Tour: Jah9 in Japan 2024
After years of anticipation, internationally acclaimed Jamaican reggae artist Jah9 will finally bring her powerful fusion of roots music, conscious lyrics, and wellness practices to Japan with her first-ever tour, Jah9 in Japan 2024. Presented by All Di Best Music (All Di Best Company Limited), this groundbreaking tour, running from October 31 to November 12, marks a monumental cultural exchange, blending Jah9’s unique Yoga on Dub sessions with her soulful live performances across major cities in Japan.
“This tour is a dream realized,” says Jah9. “I have always been a great admirer of Japanese culture, and I’m honored to finally share my music and wellness journey with the reggae lovers in Japan.”
Japan has long been a significant yet underserved market for roots reggae, and Jah9’s long-awaited tour promises to build bridges between the two cultures. Fans who have followed her music globally will now have the opportunity to experience her captivating live performances, featuring hits from her catalog such as “New Name,” “Heaven,” and “Avocado.”
In addition to her live performances, Jah9 will host a special Yoga on Dub session at Zenbo Seinei, a Zen wellness retreat on Awaji Island, where she will lead a wellness retreat combining the deep vibrations of reggae with the meditative practice of yoga. This unique fusion of music and mindfulness is a signature of Jah9’s artistry, offering fans a holistic experience that transcends the traditional concert format.
The tour kicks off in Tokyo at the iconic Ebisu ‘The Garden Hall’ on October 31, followed by stops in Kobe, Yokohama, Fukuoka, and other cities. Each location will highlight a different aspect of Jah9’s journey, from intimate club shows to full-band performances. The tour culminates in Osaka with a highly anticipated finale on November 11, followed by an after-party celebrating the cultural exchange between Jamaica and Japan.
Jah9 in Japan 2024 is more than just a tour; it is an exploration of cultural connections, wellness, and the healing power of music. As an ambassador of both roots reggae and wellness, Jah9 will deliver a transformative experience for longtime fans and new audiences alike in Japan, blending her music with a holistic approach to health and spirituality.
