Monyaka

Monyaka is a reggae band that was most active during the 1980s. The group, whose name means "good to go" in Jamaican Patois, is best known for their hit single "Go Deh Yaka (Go to the Top)," which was released in 1983 and achieved significant success in various international charts. Monyaka, hailing from Jamaica, managed to blend authentic reggae rhythms with elements of pop, making their sound accessible to a broader audience. While they did not achieve sustained mainstream success, they left their mark on the reggae scene with their upbeat tracks and positive messages. The band's work, including live performances and studio recordings, contributed to the spread of reggae music's popularity beyond its Jamaican roots during that era.
