About Roge Abergel & Kingdom Culture
Roge Abergel, is a unique reggae artist with a fascinating background and rich lineage. He was born of Jewish ethnicity to French-speaking parents, in Casablanca, Morocco (North Africa). At a young age, Roge's family was transplanted to The Ivory Coast in West Africa. They settled in Marcory, a district south of Abidjan. As a teenager, Roge Abergel, (pronounced "Row-jay Aber-jel") initially fell in love with the soulful heart pulsing sounds of Reggae.
"I grew up listening to the likes of Otis Redding, James Brown and Fela Kuti," He recalls. "I started listening to artists like Jimmy Cliff and the Wailing Wailers. Everything was imported to the Ivory Coast on vinyl records. I became fascinated with Jamaican music when it evolved into roots reggae and was musically indoctrinated by the reggae greats. By the mid seventies I was fully converted to reggae--It was the music of my heart!"
Influenced by artists like Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney and Bob Marley, Roge's greatest desire was to sing roots reggae. While he used to jam it with his friends as a youth, it wouldn't be until decades later that this dream would come to reality.
