In a recent series of firsts and historical moments, the Grammy winning Royal Family of Reggae, Morgan Heritage thrilled fans and music lovers from Asia to Africa on the Avrakedabra World Tour 2017. The worldwide tour is only befitting, as the untraditional creation of the Avrakedabra album with recording sessions took place across 4 different continents highlighting the groups effort of taking reggae music to the four corners of the Earth. The magical Avrakedabra journey launched in Dubai, where Morgan Heritage performed for the first time. It was a long time coming for the musical siblings who were humbled by the outpouring of love. "DUBAI history made with Morgan Heritage" proclaimed Kriss Darlin.

Continuing the Avrakedabra World Tour 2017, on April 10th the siblings took the stage in Kenya and introduced "Selah" and "Reggae Night" from the anticipated album. The latter was a labor of love, as the Grammy winning band considers Kenya their home away from home. "Kenya has become one of our homes, so there are three places in the world we call home: Jamaica, America and now Kenya. We will bring our families here, in the very near future," stated Peetah Morgan to a local newspaper.

Trodding on to deliver Reggae to the world, the touring veterans renowned for their endurance, longevity and outstanding showmanship, made their historical performance debut at the Lugolo Cricket Oval in Kampala, Uganda to a capacity crowd of 18,000+ people. The beautiful country boasts the reputation of Ugandans being number one reggae lovers in Africa, and the people came in droves to witness Reggae history. The Royal siblings delivered true on a promise made earlier by Gramps Morgan at a press briefing, "It is definitely the first time we are in Uganda but expect a memorable show."
