Soundboy business 🔥
Delhi Sultanate on the mic for BFR Sound System, delivering real dub education. Word, sound, power. No apology.

Dub was invented in Kingston in the seventies, when engineers started stripping tunes down to bass and drum and rebuilding them live on the controls. Foundation dub was so far ahead of its time that it still sounds ahead of ours sometimes. Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Lee Perry. Visionary music by visionary people.

And then came dancehall, where the mic became the instrument and a soundman lived by what he could do with it. Taru Dalmia has spent the last few decades at this intersection as Delhi Sultanate.

In 2016 it finally culminated into BFR Sound System.
A people’s sound system in the truest sense, crowdfunded into existence and hand built, Jamaican style, loaded into a red van. Since then it has travelled to some of the most remote parts of India, bringing reggae, dancehall and soundboy culture to spaces that were waiting for it.

We celebrate 10 years of BFR Sound System this year! big anniversary dance on 18 October
📍 Shaheedi Park

and Warehouse Mix • WMX are crowdfunding the event. Help them reach their goal and bring more artists.

All details on their profiles.

No borders, no nations, just people ✊🏽

Some sets you watch. This one was felt in the soul ❤️💛💚

Straight outta Kingston, Jamaica, an inimitable voice in reggae music, Hempress Sativa performing one of her biggest tunes, Boom (Wah Da Da Deng), with dub scientist Paulo Baldini and a few thousand people.

Back on the feed because it deserves another run.

If you were there, you know the feeling. If you weren’t, what have you been waiting for?

Goa Sunsplash 2027 is approaching.

Cypher time 🎤 Been a Sunsplash tradition since day 1.

Here’s a snippet of Tom Spirals and Ruffman I shelling in 2025. Selecta Rudy Roots held the riddim down while the mic went around, artist after artist stepping in to share a verse.

The cypher itself is older than most of the music we play. Before the records, before the stacks, there were people standing in a circle passing something between them, testing each other, lifting each other.

Jamaican sound systems had it with the toasters. Hip-hop built an entire culture around it.

Big up everyone who jumped in, and big up our original vibe curators and for the perfect warm up to who closed out the festival right after this.

If you’ve never caught a Sunsplash cypher, this is your sign to join us next year. Who knows who’s going to be part of the circle this time (we do, line up incoming 😉).

16 - 17 January - Goa, India.

For 2 days every January, a beach in Goa becomes the meeting point for music and culture from every corner of the world ✨

Selectors, artists, MCs, friends, families, backpackers, wanderers, music lovers. Some fly halfway across the planet. Some ride down from the next village.

They come for reggae, but nobody leaves having heard only reggae. Roots, dub, steppas, dancehall, ska, jungle, jazz, afrobeat, blues.

Live bands on stage and hand-built sound systems towering over the dancefloor. Music that started in Jamaica and grew into something of its own everywhere it reaches. Sunsplash is a multi-genre space with room for all of it.

Dance barefoot. Feel the speaker stacks in your chest. Meet people you’ll be calling family by sunrise. This is India’s biggest reggae and sound system festival, and there’s a place in the crowd for you.

Join us next year.

Wheel up and come again! 🔥🔥🔥
Queen Omega jumping in on General Levy’s set at the Goa Sunsplash 2024 afterhours.
Two revered artists from completely different corners of this music. , outta North London, a distinct voice that helped define jungle music in the 90s. came out of Trinidad carrying roots reggae and Rastafari, one of the finest voices in Caribbean music today.

And they meet in India on a dancehall riddim?? 🤯

This is the rarest thing a music festival can give you. Not a booking, but artists who were never scheduled together deciding to create something special in the moment.

How many moments like this have you caught at Sunsplash? We know there a plenty 😉

Asia’s biggest celebration of reggae and sound system culture is back in 2027.

Bob Marley sang this one all over the world. It was also the last one he ever sang on stage.

A song written alongside Peter Tosh in 1973, a call to rise and claim what is yours, carried by movements for dignity and justice around the world.

Over 50 years on and it still rings exactly the same way.

Get up, stand up.

Never meant to be listened to politely. It was meant to be felt in the chest, sung out loud, and carried into real life.

The way Bob lived it.

4 months to go. 🌴🔊

Four months until the Indian coast fills up again. Until the stacks go up, the massive arrives from every corner of the world, and Asia’s biggest reggae and sound system festival takes over Goa foe the best weekend of the year.

We are already counting.

The response to 2027 has been unlike anything we have seen before. Wave 1 tickets are moving faster than we expected and there are not many left at this price.
Once the line up is out, these will be gone in a blink.

If you have been waiting for a sign, this is a good one.

Legends who have carried this culture for decades, bringing every bit of it to a crowd on the other side of the world. For a sound like Channel One to step up on Indian systems and go that hard says everything about how far the Indian scene has come.

Twice they have played here. Twice the whole field has come apart.

Goa Sunsplash 2027 tickets are out, grab them before they’re gone.

Sardinia to Shillong on the Sunsplash train💥

A real pleasure indeed to have .rymbai holding down the bass, as Sardinian rudeboy took the mic with Shillong’s original
A sight still too rare in music 🎸

Shillong has been producing India’s finest musicians for generations. Gospel harmonies, guitar players on every street, whole lineages of musicians. Reggae was always going to find its way there.

As for Forelock, sunsplash family from day 1, the voice of Arawak, a band that has backed Macka B, Mad Professor, Derrick Morgan, Tippa Irie and Chaka Demus and Pliers. Second best band in Europe at Rototom. Albums produced by Paolo Baldini with Steel Pulse and Dennis Bovell on them. Work alongside Alborosie, Anthony B, Agent Sasco, Mellow Mood, Luciano and Hempress Sativa. The list goes on. 🤩

This is what we love most. Musicians finding their way to Sunsplash, meeting what is already here, and building something EPIC together.

We’re back in 2027 for yet another edition of Asia’s biggest reggae and soundsystem festival. Tickets have been going fast so make sure to get in before we sell out.

16 and 17 January

Volunteer applications for 2027 are now open. COME BE PART OF THE FAMILY. 🌿

A festival is never just the people on stage.

It’s the people who arrive early.
The people who stay back.
The ones who make sure things keep running, people are happy, the sound is crisp and the vibes are immaculate.

Goa Sunsplash is built by its volunteer family, and we’re looking for vibe curators, creative problem-solvers, community builders, music lovers, dreamers and all-round good people to join our team for 2027.

Meet the people behind the music. Work alongside artists, crew and reggae heads from around the world. Get to know the faces and stories of the people who have helped build Sunsplash, year after year.

And become a part of it all.

Reggae in India may still be a small and growing story, but every year, we build it together with the help of those who believe in the music and the culture. This is your opportunity to step behind the scenes and help bring it all to life.

Come help us build the next chapter of Goa Sunsplash.

You might leave with more than memories.
You might leave with a family. ❤️💛💚
