About JAHIRATIONZ

A roots reggae band composed by three brothers begins in the heart of the Caribbean, which marks the spiritual birth of their group. Their family arrived on the island of Montserrat in the West Indies on October of 1973 as political exiles of the Pinochet government and in 1981 they migrated to the United States of America. The group was known as Iration, born in early 1983 and their first performance was at Ramapo High School's 1986 Talent Show in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. They eventually reached a professional level and began playing college circuits beginning at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, Upsala College (expired link).., local pubs in New York City and a leg of the Reggae Sunsplash in Greensboro, North Carolina opening up for (expired link). Lodge, Mojo Nya, Truth and Rights and Art Awareness Ensemble. In April of 1992 they landed in Kingston, Jamaica to record their first single titled “The Day After” published by Mr. Loran Hector of Mission 101 Records. In mid 1993 Iration decided to return to their native land to promote their single and this visit unexpectedly became a semi-permanent one. Naturally they began to compose in Spanish and this musical journey took them on an independent race of more than 7 years upto present day into the reggae music scene in Latin America and the United States of America. Due to legal issues and backstabbing lawyers they were to move on with their musical project now called JAHIRATIONZ
