Australian-born, Jamaican-based musician Nattali Rize delivers a powerful and energetic performance in this full concert from the 2017 Uprising Festival in Bratislava, Slovakia. Known for her socially conscious lyrics and fusion of roots reggae with contemporary influences, Rize has a commanding stage presence that captivates the festival crowd. The performance took place on August 25th at Zlaté Piesky, a natural lakeside area that hosts the largest Central European festival dedicated to reggae and related genres.
Backed by a tight band, Rize’s set is a vibrant showcase of her musical identity, which is deeply influenced by Rastafarian philosophy and the legacy of Bob Marley. Her music carries messages of empowerment, unity, and social justice, themes that resonate strongly throughout this live show. Originally the frontwoman for the Australian roots band Blue King Brown, Nattali Rize embarked on a solo career and moved to Jamaica in 2014, further immersing herself in the culture that has so profoundly shaped her sound. This performance captures the spirit of her debut solo album, "Rebel Frequency," which was released the same year.
