Aba Shanti I

Aba used to deejay Jah Tubby's sound system and at that time he was known as Jasmine Joe. Those of you that were around the sound system scene in the eighties will remember the slightly-extrovert mic man that Jah Tubby's had; that was Aba. When Joe embraced the Rastafarian faith he adopted a new and more positive attitude and with his rediscovered faith a new name. That name was and is Aba Shanti-I, pronounced ABA SHANTI-EYE not ONE. So you see, the name Aba Shanti-I is not just the name of the sound system, it is the name of the person that is playing the sound.

The band
Throughout their 17-year history, the Disciples never were an after hours combo. The band is not a project, it’s an attitude, a passion to which all members dedicate a majority of their spare time. They are well on their path and should large success cross this path in the near future, they will also tackle this hurdle.
