Menelik Nesta Gibbons, better known as Don Dada, continues to cement his status as one of the most important cultural voices of our generation. Just three weeks after dropping “PEACE,” a powerful reimagining inspired by Bob Marley’s “WAR,” he’s now been honoured with the Icons of Africa Award: Pan-African Voice of Peace.
This isn’t a coincidence; it’s alignment. A moment that proves Don Dada’s message is bigger than music. It’s unity. Healing. Africa speaking to the world. Representing Ruff Cutt Studio and distributed globally through Tuff Gong International, Don Dada carries the Pan-African spirit with intention and authenticity. From pioneering a hip-hop/reggae sound to uplifting new voices to serving as a Grammy Voting Member, he’s built a legacy rooted in purpose.
His impact is undeniable:
“VIVA Mandela” reached almost 2 million people.
He performed on the Bob Marley Tribute Concert Stage.
His album “Alkebulan” was hailed by the SABC as an “important part of Black history.”
Don Dada isn’t just an artist; he’s a force. A cultural architect connecting Africa and the diaspora. Africa salutes him. The diaspora stands with him. The world is listening.
