JAHNERATION

France
Reggae

The Parisian duo Jahneration, formed by Théo and Ogach, came together in
2009 when these two school friends decided to exchange Punk Rock for
Reggae. Musicians since their early childhood, they compose, write, and sing
in English mixed with Jamaican patois. In love with the Jamaican island and
its music, the duo draws inspiration from it by making frequent trips there: in
2017, they recorded with their musicians in the famous Marley family studios,
“Tuff Gong Studios.” This was followed by notable collaborations with major
names in international Reggae such as Alborosie, Queen Omega, and many
French artists (Manu Chao, Dub Inc, Danakil, Naâman…).
The encounter with Naâman in 2011 marked a turning point in the careers of
the two music enthusiasts, who recorded “Me Nah Fed Up”: a Reggae/Hip
Hop track that left a lasting impression on young Reggae fans and ensured
them a loyal first audience.
In 2015, Jahneration signed with the independent label Ovastand, placing
them in the contemporary music scene. Over 8 years, they toured France and
its overseas territories, Europe, India, and Canada, performing more than 400
concerts. Starting with opening acts in most venues and Zéniths in France,
they eventually filled the Olympia in 2022.
With four albums and a mixtape featuring their famous concept of the Mic
Sessions, Jahneration has become a key player in French Reggae. Prolific,
creative, and powerful on stage, they attract a diverse audience with their
modern and dynamic Reggae.
They are currently releasing excerpts from their second mixtape, which
includes new Mic sessions: the singles “Back Inna Di Dance” and “Wham To
Dem” are already gaining worldwide success. They will be back on the roads
of France in the summer of 2024 after an 18-month international tour.
