Marcus Garvey Day feat The Wailing Souls

Join us at WorldBeat Center for a powerful and uplifting Marcus Garvey Day Celebration honoring the life, legacy, and vision of one of the greatest Pan-African leaders of the 20th century. This year, we are proud to present a live concert with legendary reggae icons, The Wailing Souls, bringing roots, rhythm, and revolutionary spirit to Balboa Park.

Celebrate Marcus Garvey’s call for unity, pride, and self-determination with a night filled with conscious music, cultural tribute, community connection, and liberation energy.

The Wailing Souls are a Jamaican reggae vocal group whose origins date back to the 1960s. The group has undergone several line-up changes over the years with Winston “Pipe” Matthews and Lloyd “Bread” McDonald the only constant members. They have been nominated for Grammy Awards three times.
