A stunning mural has been unveiled in memory of a popular Rastafari High Priest in Bristol.

Ras Bandele Selassie I was the Rastafari High Priest of the South West of England, who sadly died in March 2024, following a short illness.

He founded the Rastafari Cultural Centre in Grosvenor Road, St Pauls in 1990s, and it was first opened for the Rastafari community to have a place where they could worship and observe special celebrations.

Ras Bandele’s family told The Voice that the permanent mural is a fitting tribute to him at the Centre, which he ran for three decades.

His son, Abijah Selassie said:

“The mural to me literally feels like a reminder to everyone that sees it that, my dad was here and during his time here. he made such a major impact that a permanent mural has been done to reflect the positive mark that he has left on the community. For that I give thanks.”
