He adds that his main agenda for being in Ethiopia is primarily connecting with his Rastafari community and making more reggae music as Ethiopia is known for.

“Right now my mission in Ethiopia is to connect with the Rastafari community more so doing reggae but also activism. Right now the project we are working in is to bring back the statue of Marcus Gavvu to the African Union to be remembered on his birthday on 17th August,” he says.

Ethiopia is a powerhouse for reggae music. It has strong ties to the first Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie 1 believed to have governed Rastafari faith in the 1930s when he took reign.

This religion took anchorage in Ethiopia in the early 1900s. Since then, this movement has remained vibrant and honor their religion through music and other acts of religious beliefs.

Vaga Vybz has promised to bring this all out in his upcoming album.
