Press Release Summary: Tanzanian musician Ras Nas aka Nasibu is ready to make this
year's summer in Oslo one of the hottest. Ras Nas with band plays at MS Innvik 18th
July 2008. This will be a night of live roots reggae, African music and poetry. In
short a night to remember. Put a cross on this date in your calendar and do not miss
the show!

Press Release Body: Also appearing at this summer event dubbed "MANTRA" by the
organizers, are Papa Lion aka Mankind (USA) and dancer Adjei (Ghana). Dj Dominic is
the night's scratcher from the control tower.

The show at MS Innvik is one of the rare live Ras Nas\' shows in Oslo. The night is
also your chance to buy Ras Nas' CD "Dar-Es-Salaam" at a concert price. The CD
contains a mix of reggae and afro (soukous). Last November Ras Nas was one of the
headliners at Oslo World Music Festival where among others, Seun Kuti, Rachid Taha,
Cessaria Evora and Ba Cissokho took part.

Ras Nas' reputation as one of the best live acts within reggae and African music in
Norway is without dispute. Reviewing Ras Nas ' live radio concert, spring 2007,
veteran music journalist with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, NRK, Arne
Berg, put it in this way; "It was a memorable experience. From heavy dub poetry to
exhilarating soukous - rarely has the public in Studio 19 shaken their bodies so
thoroughly and seldom have we experienced such a sweaty, happy and smiling audience
go home after a show!"

MANTRA is an urban entertainment concept where musicians, dj's, dancers and the
public mingle in an intimate atmosphere. The first MANTRA this summer season was
held at Underground in June where the top Tanzanian R&B singer Ali Kiba was also one
of the performers who entertained a packed crowd.
