Bobo Ashanti is a Rastafarian organization founded by Prince Emmanuel I in the 1950s. Almost all members live nine miles from Kingston, Jamaica in Bull Bay. There they have a small utopian community called Bobo Hill.

The organization is most known under the name Bobo Ashanti, but they are also known under the name Ethiopian interNational Congress.

Emmanuel himself is seen as part of a holy trinity together with Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie. Where Selssie is seen as King / God, Jah, Garvey as the prophet and Emmanuel as high priest.

Bobo Ashanti's are seperated from other Rastafarian organizations through attributes as turbans and ropes.

Almost all men within the community is seen as prophets or priests. The funcion of a prophet is to reason and the priests to conduct the services. Women and children are subordinated to men. Women must cover their legs and arms. A Woman may serve food to a guest, but never to a Bobo male.

All children attend a basic school named Jerusalem School Room. After this they can go to Kingston to school, but that is seldom.

Many Bobos see Idi Amin as a second coming of Garvey.

Bobos say that Africa is the name that the white man gave to Ethiopia or Jerusalem.

Black supremacy is a must, for that is the race no other can produce. The true israelite is a black man.

Almost all songs and tributes within the community ends with "Holy Emmanuel I Selssie I Jah Rasfari".

Twice each week and on the first sunday of every month the Bobo fast.

The Bobos have built up a big relationship with the local community outside of Bobo Hill and they often invite people to their services.

From the mid 1990's many reggae artists have emerged from the Bobo Ashanti. Most known are Sizzla, Capleton, Anthony B, Turbulance and Ras Shiloh
