TRINITI aka Amha Selassie Baraka
As a youth at a early age of 16, Amha Selassie Baraka, known by many simply as Baraka, sighted Rastafari through the message of Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
He was raised in the Baptist church by his father, a reverend, where he was taught the bible verses and hymns that are a major influence on his musical and spiritual upbringing.
At 25, Amha sung in his first Reggae band "Creation Rebel", and opened for Judy Mowatt.
His second band experience was with "Caravan" a well known Washington DC act. A few years later he made a move to form his own original group, JahKuumba, as lyricist, lead vocals and band leader. Kuumba is a Swahili word for creativity.
JahKuumba, performing an original sound of stateside reggae, was well received in their home town of Washington DC and the east coast as a touring act.
After only one year of performing, JahKuumba was blessed by the fact that the famous Itals needed a backing band, were hired to back them, and did so for the following 3 years in the USA and Europe.
While his band toured with the Itals, Amha continued to write his originals and gain knowledge from many reggae greats who he had been inspired by and rubbed shoulder's with, such as Peter Broggs, Julian Marley, Augustus Pablo, and Mutabaruka.
Amha is the co-founder of One World studios in Washington DC, along with Kofi Rozzelle, and Dan Parker, also original founding members of JahKuumba.
For the past 25 years Amha has been performing on major stages on the east and west coasts. As an evolved & involved Reggae artist and Rasta Man he is on a mission to help spread JAH's Love and Reggae music across the globe.
Amha is currently the lead vocalist and band leader of "The RootiCal Players" based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He is also CEO and founder of RootiCal Productions, a recording, booking, & promotion company, "For Musicians by Musicians".
Amha has 2 CD"s- "For the Love of JAH" & "Strictly Roots", out now and available online @ CDBaby.com & Itunes. You can also listen to his music On Spotify.
