The High Hopes Band is considered one of New England's premiere reggae bands. High
Hopes prides itself on continuing the tradition of roots/orthodox style reggae (classic 70's
period) with an updated feel for today.
Jahsun has backed Fanton Mojah & Yami Bolo as well as opened for Luciano, Midnite, and
Morgan Heritage. O Jinga, our true veteran, was the drummer for Israel Vibration for several
years. Jules & Brian are solid musicians and well schooled in the rockers tradition. Our
rotating keyboard player Yusaku Yoshimura is a top notch freelance musician. Yusaku has
recently returned from Jamaica where he played on albums for the Congos, Viceroys & Earl
Chinna Smith.
Currently High Hopes backs, JAHriffe, Zion Iron Lion, Judah Eskender Tafari, Bush-I, & various
other New York City and Boston based West Indian reggae artists.
