The IRICALS are a US based vocal harmony
reggae group conceived by vocalist and
founder Rhedda J. They currently reside and
work in Las Cruces, NM
Their songs reflect a bold conscious-
ness projected from the difficult times in
today’s world and represent a strong, unified
presence as artists for social change.
The IRICALS trio sound delivers an
enchantingly smooth flavor and has been
compared to some of the great names in
reggae. The main influence of the trio’s
sound comes from the sweet three-part
harmonies produced in Jamaican reggae
music of the 1960s and 70s from such
groups as the Heptones, The Mighty
Diamonds, The Congos, and The Wailers.
The current lineup of the group includes
Rhedda J and the the wonderful sister vocalists,
Nikomo Peartree and Melody Fakhourie. Both
are residents of South Florida and have joined
the group in 2012
The IRICALS’ emergence represents a revival
of a classic sound among the world-class
spectrum of talent in the world music and
reggae scene today.
Their latest performance repertoire
includes great original material
plus some classic covers from within
the genre.
The IRICALS perform whole and partial set
engagements for private functions, benefits,
cultural events, etc., as well as opening for
major performance artists.
