MOORE BLACK & THE ORGANIC ROOTS

2006-03-04T23:16:00.000+10:30

Moore Black was born & raised in Nigeria (West Africa)
where music and dance are part of everyday life.
Writing prolifically from a very young age,
Moore's lyrics encompass cultural, social, political & environmental issues
His songwriting & arrangements are his own unique seductive stamp on the Reggae genre.

Moore's first studio experience was in 1983, he knew then what his purpose was!
After leaving Nigeria for Europe in the early 90's, Moore began working as a street musician.
He landed work in various clubs as an MC, and finally formed a Reggae band "Stir it Up"

to tour constantly around Greece,
they were especially in great demand throughout summers around the Greek Islands.

Since arriving in Australia in 1999, Moore formed his first Reggae outfit
"Moore Black & the Reggae Rhythms", bringing Roots Reggae to the local pub circuit.
In 2003 Moore's song "Dance mi Ragga" made it in the top 10 "World music"
category for the "Musicoz" awards (Australia wide).

Moore now fronts the culturally diverse Reggae band ‘Organic Roots’
that was assembled in 2004.
The name was inspired from issues that need order & purifying.
Serendipity delivered a culturally diverse collection of musicians

that bring a wealth of talent to the ‘Organic Root’s lineup.
The ‘Organic Roots’ band members hail from all corners of the globe
– Africa, Japan, Europe & South America

Nowadays, Moore has fused his own eclectic & vibrant mix of style of Samba, Calypso, & Reggae with a portion of Dub and Nyabingi ( African drumbeats & Chanting) Rap & Spoken word.

Moore Black & The Organic Roots transport a Conscious & Spiritual

message wrapped in material sound!

While their conscious lyrics leave the crowd in a "feel good" mood
it is the dynamic energy & pulsating rhythms that they deliver with each performance

that keeps the crowd from sitting still!
Mika - percussion/vocals
A Japanese healer/teacher with twist of dreadlocks, residing in Adelaide.
Through many fields of art, she expresses joy of life and happiness.

Our creative and talented bass player, Ezio was playing in a reggae band "The Roots family" in Venice, Italy before moving to Australia and joining "Organic Roots"
Eduardo - Congas/Percussion
Born & bred in Valparaiso, Chile and growing up with latin music
it is no doubt that Eduardo is a talented guitarist, singer & percussionist.
His passion & natural ability has led him to join "Organic Roots"

to play Congas & other percussion
