From Paris, OBIDAYA delivers a timeless, spiritual and accessible roots reggae, carried by a unique vocal quartet where bright melodies meet conscious messages. Drawing inspiration from the golden age of 1970s Jamaican reggae, the band evokes legends such as The Gladiators and Israel Vibration, while asserting a modern and original identity. The quartet brings together Loïc Paulin (Mystical Faya), Uncle Raph (guitarist and backing vocalist for Marcus Gad), I Fi (toaster from BAT Records) and Elies, singer and founder of the project. Together, they make vocal harmony the true signature of OBIDAYA — a rare and daring approach within the French reggae scene. On stage, OBIDAYA offers a vibrant, spiritual and unifying experience, where the collective energy of the group fully unfolds. After several tours across France and Europe, and a series of acclaimed acoustic videos titled Rootical Wednesdays, OBIDAYA is back with their second album New Chapter, mixed by Tamal, out now.
