Mo Ali (born Mohamed Ali in Khartoum, Sudan, in 1989) is a reggae singer who fell under the spell of Bob Marley's music at the age of ten. Since 2017 he has fronted the Dutch Bob Marley tribute band Rootsriders, who are marking their twentieth anniversary in 2026. His voice, often likened to Marley's own, brings the reggae legend's classics back to life on stages across Europe.
Rootsriders celebrates the band's twentieth anniversary in 2026 and lets fans help decide which Marley classics will be on the setlist.
For 2026, 28 shows by Rootsriders with Mo Ali are planned in the Netherlands.
As opening act, the band plays songs from the recently released album Beautiful Day Beautiful Life.
On 18 July 2026, Rootsriders performs with Mo Ali at the Rastaplas Festival in Zoetermeer.
In 2024, the band toured to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Bob Marley's album Legend.
