Ah, the summer that enjoyable time of the year when you can relax in a hammock by the sea and switch off to the chilled sounds of Bob Marley.
But what if your circumstances mean you can’t go abroad this year. Don’t worry a local pub has got everything you need as well as top artist so you needn’t book that expensive holiday in Jamaica.
Golty Farabeau is a Roots Reggae and Sega musician from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. His music reflects the beauty and relaxed lifestyle of his homeland, his lyrics draw attention to learning to survive between the dregs of colonial influence and incoming socialist governments.
A self-taught musician, Golty first toured professionally as a teenager, playing bass for a well-known Mauritian artist. Since then has travelled widely across the world, becoming a major name in the Seychelles and well regarded for his compositions, rich voice and unique basslines.
His highlights across his career include the following:-
- Playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1993
- His group making a Swatch advert in the same year
- Receiving a gold medal at the Isles Jeux de la Francophonie in Madagascar in 1997 Playing alongside Bitty McClean in 2000
- Participating in Fete Afrique in 2002.
Golty became a permanent member of the UK 15 years ago where he formed his band Golty Farabeau and the Jahmadou. He has played at the Cultural Collage Music Festival in Manchester (2012), Mintfest in Kendal and on the Albert Square stage at Manchester International Festival in 2013.
