Mad Collective Connection <\/a><\/h3>\n

Mad Collective Connection (MCC)<\/strong> are a multicultural Roots Reggae band with a mission to uplift and unite through music. The band embodies Rastafarian ideals of peace, love, and resistance against oppression.<\/p>\n

Mystic<\/strong>, our energetic baritone, and Dom<\/strong>, our charismatic bass vocalist are backed by Abi<\/strong>, our bass player (all from Sierra Leone). Scottish born Zodiac<\/strong> adds a unique edge with his rock-reggae guitar influences. Jamaican borne Stanley<\/strong> commands a state-of-the-art mixing desk bringing studio quality production.<\/p>\n

Roots Reggae focussed, MCC infuse elements of dub, and dancehall creating a sound that resonates with reggae lovers everywhere. Our live performances are renowned for infectious energy and conscious lyrics, and fun.<\/p>\n

Endorsed by Michael Balderstone (Legalise Cannabis Party), MCC is the staple opening and closing act of the Nimbin MardiGrass Festival. Our lyrics and cultural ideals promote harmony, social justice and legal cannabis.<\/p>\n
