About African Head Charge
Artist Biography
African Head Charge is a psychedelic dub ensemble led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, along with an ever-changing lineup of musicians and vocalists, including associates of producer Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label. Representing the more abstract side of sound system culture, their hallucinatory yet rootsy fusion of traditional African and Caribbean rhythms, samples, and heavy studio experimentation has influenced legions of bass-loving electronic and worldbeat artists. Initially a studio project, AHC made their debut with 1981's seminal My Life in a Hole in the Ground. The group continued combining nearly industrial textures with tribal rhythms on their subsequent efforts, and began performing live later in the decade. They went in an increasingly accessible direction beginning with the devotional Songs of Praise (1990), and returned to a trippy, bass-heavy sound with later albums like Voodoo of the Godsent (2011) and A Trip to Bolgatanga (2023).
