MelAfrique

This band was formed in Edmonton in 2016. The name Melafrique is a condensed form of the term "Melanin from Africa". We play a variety of genres: Jazz, R&B, Reggae, Neo-soul; in combination with different African styles of music. Melafrique hopes to inspire the world with good music, and through music, we express our identities as African people, Caribbean people, and musicians. The band includes members from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Jamaica, and Canada.
