About Christafari
Christafari is a Christian reggae band formed in 1989 by Mark Mohr. The group’s name is a deliberate play on the word “Rastafarian,” intended to mean people who bear or represent the name of Christ. Founder Mark Mohr is an ordained minister who attended Biola University, and the band identifies as “musicianaries”—musical missionaries who perform in numerous countries each year. Their sound blends worship, roots reggae, and dancehall styles.
Over the course of their career, Christafari has released more than thirty albums, including Soulfire, Valley of Decision, WordSound&Power, Original Love, Gravity, Palabra Sonido Y Poder, and Under God. The group’s leadership includes Mark Mohr and his wife, Avion Blackman-Mohr. The band has been featured on media outlets such as The 700 Club and TBN.
Christafari has seen notable chart success. Their album Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival reached number one on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in 2012. The album Valley of Decision spent 32 weeks on Billboard’s top 15 chart. In 2004, the band received three awards from the Urban Gospel Industry Awards: Album of the Year, Best Artist/Group, and Best Producer.
With a mission to use reggae music as a platform for evangelism, Christafari has maintained a long-running career centered on their dual identity as musicians and missionaries.
