Matumbi Tickets

Matumbi emerged in London in the early 1970s as one of Britain's first successful reggae acts, laying the groundwork for a thriving reggae scene and influencing future generations. Fronted by a group of musicians who blended roots reggae with dub textures, Matumbi became a cornerstone of the UK reggae movement from 1971 through the early 1980s. Their work helped bring reggae to a broader British audience, with a string of influential albums and charting singles crafted during a pivotal era for reggae in the UK.
