ALBOROSIE - NINE MILE UK TOUR
The most Jamaican of the Sicilians
With over 100 million streams and more than 10 million monthly listeners across all platforms in 2024, Alborosie is undoubtedly the international reggae benchmark! Two years after the release of his album Destiny, Pupa Albo is back this year with a new opus.
Alborosie has built up a solid reputation with over 1,000 concerts across the globe. After a major world tour in 2025, he's back on the road to support the release of his new album and to offer his fans some exceptional live moments where new singles will rub shoulders with must-have tracks from his vast musical catalogue.
Real name Alberto D’Ascola, this Sicilian with giant dreadlocks left his native land to reach Jamaica and fully embrace this culture that he feels. Living on this island for over 20 years, Alborosie is an ultra prolific artist who has been shaking up the roots reggae world since 1993. Roots, rub-a-dub, raggamuffin, dancehall and dub are all part of the authentic reggae expression and no one embraces these styles with such reverence, joy and vibrancy than Alborosie.
With a discography including cult albums like "Soul Pirate", and flagship tracks from its beginnings, like "Kingston Town" or "Herbalist", true anthems of several generations, Alborosie has become one of the most listened international reggae artists in the world.
Alborosie is committed to authentic reggae, to honoring and preserving its heritage. He notably collaborates with many of today’s leading artists like Ky-Mani Marley, Joe Mersa Marley, Collie Buddz, Roots Radics, The Wailers United, King Jammy... and also produces music for several Jamaican stars, including the recent Wailing Souls album "Back A Yard". These works are a testament to his study of the origins of reggae, and his contribution to its future.
Alborosie, who in 2011 made history as the first white artist to win the M.O.B.O (Music of Black Origin) Awards in the Best Reggae Act category, gained stature and purpose. As an artist and producer, and as a voice for change. Along with the recording of his latest opus, in December 2020 Alborosie recorded and released "Shadows After Dark", teaming up with Christopher Martin, Etana, Romain Virgo, Morgan Heritage and many others to raise awareness of the perils of Human Trafficking in Jamaica.
This globetrotter has cut his teeth on tour and has been defending his culture on stages around the world for over 15 years. From his beginnings he took care to be accompanied by exceptional musicians who today constitute the "Clan Shengen". On stage, his vocal mastery allows him to simultaneously sweep all the styles that make up reggae, to toasting his greatest hits as well as fetching notes worthy of opera. His almost limitless vocal abilities make his performances unique and his shows are acclaimed and acclaimed by an eclectic and multigenerational audience.
“Destiny”, released on May 26th 2023 (Greensleeves Records / VP Records / Shengen Entertainment), boasts an impressive list of collaborators with featured guest performances from such luminaries as Kabaka Pyramid, Buju Banton, Jaz Elise and Burro Banton to name but a few. In 2024, he released his latest album, “Dub Pirate,” his seventh adventure into dub music. Alborosie showcases his production talents by remixing twelve emblematic songs from “Soul Pirate.”
