Are you in the mood for authentic reggae with a modern twist? Then Conscious Culture is the band you don’t want to miss! Since 2014, these seven musicians from Cologne have been breathing fresh air into the reggae scene – with a sound deeply rooted in the 70s’ roots reggae while absorbing modern influences from soul, dub, dancehall, and modern roots, blending it all into something truly unique. The result? A distinctive sound that touches both mind and heart.
Led by the three charismatic frontwomen Nadia Eva, Kira, and Malijah, the band creates a captivating combination of powerful lead vocals and seamlessly flowing polyphony. Conscious Culture embodies Cologne’s cultural diversity: musicians from Ecuador, Cyprus, and Germany unite the best of different worlds on stage. A driving drum & bass foundation, groovy keyboards, and catchy guitar riffs unleash a live energy that keeps no one standing still.
Their songs? A powerful mix of personal and social themes – critical, joyful, and authentic. Their debut album Thursdays (2018) captures this vibe perfectly, supported by international features, delivering the raw, passionate sound that defines their live shows. A standout track: Woman, which also makes a statement for the visibility of female artists in a genre often dominated by men.
Conscious Culture has long since made their mark on the major reggae stages in Germany: they’ve already thrilled audiences at Summerjam, Reggae Jam, Ruhr Reggae Summer, and Sunrise Reggae & Ska, among others. Their latest releases, Kindred Souls (2022) and La magia contigo (2023), show how harmoniously smooth, soulful vibes blend with reggae. And the best part? New songs and exciting collaborations are already in the works.
Conscious Culture – that’s positive energy, female power, and a rich variety of sounds that make every concert an unforgettable experience.
