Innocent Galinoma

From an early age, Innocent Galinoma began his musical career in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Embracing reggae at its infancy, he began blending the sounds of the traditional music with the hard hitting reggae beats. Singing in both Kiswahili and English, his message of liberation emerged as a dominant theme. He spoke of freedom and the need to break from the existing oppressive regimes that dominated the landscape. His message glorified Africa with its rich resources of both land and culture. After migrating to Minnesota in the late 1980’s, he formed the band Les Exodus. Teaming with an international set of musicians hailing from all over the Caribbean and Africa, Innocent began to record and perform across the USA. He began opening for major international acts and cultivated a sizable following in the Twin Cities area.
