Formed In A Refugee Camp In The West African Nation Of Guinea All Of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars’ Members Lived In Or Around Freetown Sierra Leone’s Capital City Prior To Their Individual Departures In The Late 1990’s. Although Group Leader Reuben M. Koroma And Future R.A.S. Bandmates Franco Francis Langba And Arahim Abdul Rahim Kamara Knew Each Other As Professional Musicians From Different Bands In Freetown And Even Occasionally Played Together In Common Musical Circles It Wasn’t Until They Reconnected In Kalia Refugee Camp In Guinea That The Roots Of The Group Took Shape. When Reuben His Wife Grace And Franco Began Making Music For Their Fellow Refugees Their Efforts Were Short Lived When Their Camp Came Under Attack. The Initial Band Members−alongside Thousands Of Fellow Refugees−were Evacuated From The Area And Moved To Sembakounya Refugee Camp. Set Deep In The Remote Guinean Countryside It Was Here That Reuben And Franco Were Able To Acquire The Rusted-Out Sound System And Beat Up Electric Guitars That Helped Officially Launch The Group.
