Gerbert Morales

Born 1961 · Moscow, RSFSR, USSR

Singer and songwriter, sage and philosopher, the undisputed leader of the cult group "Jah Division" and the project "Passionaries Jah." An infinitely charming person who made the aura of our northern latitudes much brighter and cleaner with his sunny songs. The irreplaceable and indomitable leader of Ja Division, one of the oldest Moscow reggae groups, he became both spiritually and practically domestic Bob Marley, having an undeniable influence on the Russian Rastaman movement and having generated an army of inspired followers. My first associations with the sound of “Ja Division” were the songs “Kuban” and “Amsterdam”, smoldering with colorful lights in the cigarette smoke of the capital clubs of the mid-nineties. From the smell of melting snow, from spontaneous rasta-festivals, from sun glare on Moscow's evening roofs - songs of Hera Morales and his legendary group.
