JAHNERATION

The Paris-based duo Jahneration,

consisting of Thëo and Ogach, was founded in 2009 when the two friends, who had known each other since middle school, decided to switch from punk rock to reggae. They have been musicians since early childhood and compose, write, and sing in English mixed with Jamaican Patois. As lovers of the island and its music, the duo draws inspiration from their frequent trips there: in 2017, they recorded with their musicians at the Marley family’s famous “Tuff Gong Studios.” This was followed by highly acclaimed collaborations with big names in international reggae such as Alborosie, Queen Omega, and numerous French artists, including Manu Chao, Dub Inc, Danakil, and Naâman. Their collaboration with Naâman in 2011, with the track “Me Nah Fed Up,” marked a turning point in the careers of these two music enthusiasts: A reggae/hip-hop track that left a lasting impression on young reggae fans and secured them their first loyal following. In 2015, Jahneration signed a contract with the independent label Ovastand, which established them in the current music scene. Over the course of nine years, they toured France and its overseas territories, Europe, India, and Canada, performing more than 400 concerts. After opening for acts at most of France’s major venues and Zéniths, they finally filled the Olympia in 2022.

With their six albums, Jahneration have established themselves as one of the most important acts on the French reggae scene. As a prolific, creative, and powerful live band, they attract a wide audience with their modern and dynamic reggae. 

Their new album, “Mic Sessions Volume II,” which brings together all of their singles released over the past two years, is now available!
