Few voices in reggae carry the weight of legacy and innovation like Mojo Morgan. A founding member of the GRAMMY Award-winning Morgan Heritage, Mojo now steps forward with a powerful new vision in ‘When The Father Calls,’ the lead single and video from his forthcoming Jamaica Love EP.
The track does more than open the project — it opens a dialogue between past and present. Built around H.I.M. Haile Selassie I’s historic 1963 speech at the United Nations, the same one that would later inspire Bob Marley’s iconic War, Mojo crafts a moving tribute that underscores how urgent Selassie’s message still is today. His stirring vocals weave through archival calls for disarmament and equality, creating a seamless bridge from history into our conflicted present. At a time when global headlines echo with division, war, and political unrest, ‘When The Father Calls’ serves as both a reminder and a rallying cry: peace and unity are not just ideals, they are responsibilities.
Mojo Morgan was born into reggae greatness. The son of the legendary Denroy Morgan and a cornerstone of Morgan Heritage, he grew up immersed in music that transcended borders. Alongside his siblings, Mojo carried reggae into the new millennium, earning a GRAMMY and cementing the family’s name as one of the genre’s most influential dynasties.
Now, following the passing of his brother and bandmate Peetah Morgan, Mojo embarks on a new chapter — one that both honors his heritage and expands its horizons. Jamaica Love EP is his first major release since Peetah’s ascension, and it reflects the resilience, love, and creativity of a family and culture that continues to evolve.
While rooted in reggae’s heartbeat, Mojo’s sound is anything but confined. His self-described “Rasta Rock” fuses reggae, rock, hip-hop, country, soul, and pop, pulling inspiration from icons as varied as Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh, 2Pac, Coldplay, and Phil Collins. The result is a genre-bending style that speaks to the global language of music while staying true to the spiritual and cultural essence of reggae.
The Jamaica Love EP celebrates collaboration and connection. With features from Gramps Morgan, Popcaan, Sizzla, Maino, and even Mojo’s own children and nephew, it stands as a multi-generational conversation — a family celebration woven into a cultural statement. It’s music that acknowledges history while envisioning a future without borders.
Mojo has already been carrying this message worldwide, with appearances on BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio London, and performances across major European festivals, including a standout set at Reggae Land Festival at the MK National Bowl earlier this month. With the release of ‘When The Father Calls,’ he continues to channel the strength of his heritage into a fresh wave of reggae fusion destined for the global stage.
As the world grapples with uncertainty, Mojo Morgan’s voice rises with clarity and conviction. ‘When The Father Calls,’ isn’t just a song — it’s a call to action, a reminder of our shared humanity, and a testament to reggae’s timeless role as the soundtrack of resistance, resilience, and love.
Mojo Morgan isn’t just carrying the torch of his family’s legacy — he’s reshaping it for a new era.
