Reggae royalty Omar Perry, son of the legendary Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, joins forces with ERM to channel the revolutionary spirit of his father in a powerful tribute show.
Raised in Kingston’s iconic Black Ark studio, Omar absorbed reggae from the source, recording as a child and later forging his own path across Africa, the UK, and Europe. With seven solo albums and collaborations alongside icons like Adrian Sherwood, Buju Banton, and Sly & Robbie, Omar has built a vibrant career rooted in authenticity. Now, alongside ERM—a group led by one of Lee Perry’s closest collaborators—he brings Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry to life: an electrifying celebration of dub legacy, deep grooves, and the enduring power of Jamaican music to move minds and bodies alike.
