Featuring some of the best reggae musicians from the Democratic Republic of Congo,
the Central African Republic, Denmark and Ireland The Light Runners are a rare treat with a
back story as exciting and interesting as their music. Some members have fled dictatorships,
spent years touring the world with soukous bands, led gospel choirs and performed on The
Late Late Show, while others have been busting their chops touring and grooving their way
across some of Europe’s finest festivals. The Light Runners also have supported the world
famous reggae group The Wailers, of Bob Marley fame.
Staying true to roots reggae the band blend their own original music with Jamaican,
African and English reggae. The Light Runners have quickly become synonymous with
hypnotic hooks, fluid vocal harmonies, and a distinct African flair. The head of this
international super group Lazare Mbouwoua and his enigmatic and energetic performances
are sure to bring a smile to your face and have people of all ages grooving.
