Jah Ras — artistically known as The Uprising Roots Warrior — is the founder, selector and host of Jah Ras Sound System. With a musical career spanning over 25 years, he is widely recognized as one of the true pioneers and key figures of Roots Reggae and Dub music both in the Canary Islands and throughout Spain.
Jah Ras officially began his journey as a selector in April 2002 in Bilbao, Basque Country. During this initial stage his heavy sessions focused on spreading the conscious message of reggae, earning him great respect within the northern Spanish underground scene.
In 2004 he returned to his homeland of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, quickly becoming a fundamental driving force for the archipelago’s reggae movement. A major turning point came in 2006 when Jah Ras traveled to Italy to perform at the iconic Rototom Sunsplash festival alongside the Dread Lion Hi Fi collective. This international experience inspired him to take the ultimate step — hand building his own independent Sound System, a massive project successfully completed in 2007
