Dr Victor and The Rasta Rebels are set to perform at the Windhoek Country and Club Resort tomorrow. It is their first concert in 12 years on Namibian soil, and promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for music lovers.
The band’s last performance in Namibia was in 2011, and their return is generating a lot of excitement among music fans in the country.
Formed in the 1980s, this well-known South African band is known for its unique blend of African rhythms, reggae, and rock music. The group is fronted by Dr Victor, real name Victor Khojane, a talented musician, singer, and songwriter.
Dr Victor was born in Kimberly, South Africa in 1964 and was inspired by the music of Bob Marley, Lucky Dube and other reggae legends. He began his music career in the 1980s, playing in various bands and honing his skills as a musician.
Dr Victor performed for international stars including Paul Simon, Janet Jackson and Gloria Estefan, and made the global charts in Japan, Mexico, France and the Middle East with his album ‘Faya’.
By the late 1990s, Dr Victor had brought back together the Rasta Rebels, and they released a compilation album titled ‘The Best of the Rasta Rebels’, which included an unreleased track called ‘I Love to Truck’. This album and the new single sold well.
Over the years that followed, Dr Victor released solo projects like ‘Sunshine Daze’ (2003) and ‘If You Wanna Be Happy’ (2004), as well as Rasta Rebels albums such as ‘When Somebody Loves You Back’ (2006).
The concert is expected to attract music lovers from all over Namibia and beyond, and tickets are selling fast.
An impressive supporting line-up including female group Essence, Gyzie One Man Band and DJ Waxa will also be on offer.
The resort’s spacious and picturesque grounds will provide the perfect setting for
the band’s performance, and BigeventsNamibia promises an
unforgettable evening of music, dance and culture. BigeventsNamibia urges fans to get their tickets early to benefit from the early bird prices. Tickets are available at webtickets.com.na and at any PicknPay nationwide.
