"Ghanaian reggae sensation Rocky Dawuni is known for riveting live performances with his 11-piece band, the Revelation Project, as well as a dedication to promoting social justice." -- Flavorpill, March 2009.

Rocky and an outrageous 11 piece band (with special guests, including local Music Together teacher, Ms. Kadi, sitting in) are now set to bring his signature Afro Roots Reggae to the opening of L.A.'s Grand Performances season at California Plaza, 300-350 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071.  Rocky will perform in two concerts: at noon and 8:00 p.m. on Friday July 10, 2009.

Rocky just finished his 5th studio recording titled Hymns for the Rebel Soul which is currently set for release in late 2009.  He also has two tracks on the Top 20 Playing for Change: Songs Around the World compilation, including a cover of "War" by Bob Marley, which also features Bono and an international cast of musicians.

Rocky is involved with UNICEF, Product (RED), The Carter Center and The Global Fund and other pro-active humanitarian, social and environmental organizations, committed to creating positive and sustainable change. Converse (RED) just released his custom designed shoe - dubbed Wheels of Change - as part of the Converse 1 Hund(RED) Series with proceeds supporting  the UN Global Funds effort to provide antiretroviral medication for people suffering from HIV / AIDS in Africa.

This is a free event, for all ages.  Bring a picnic!
