The stark difference between The (Infrared) Rockers and other St.

Louis reggae bands during the reggae heyday: For The Rockers, it

was always more than just the music. The core members were

committed to the celebration and preservation of black history and

culture. They were deeply involved in community issue, carrying

out the true role of artists as change agents. Much of their original

music uplifted the struggles of African peoples throughout the

world. The group formally disbanded in 2009 after the death of

Johari Kamili, its lead singer and main songwriter.
