Akae Beka is a roots reggae band from Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, which was founded by members of the band Midnite following a change in their membership in 2015. In February of that year, the former band Midnite cancelled their 2015 tour and postponed dates "due to a life changing medical emergency, convictions, and revelations".[1]

The band's leader Vaughn Benjamin explained that the name Akae Beka are two words that come from the Book of Enoch,[2] cited in chapter 68, verse 20-24.[3]

Akae Beka's first performance took place in Denver, Colorado on July 17, 2015 in honor of Nelson Mandela Day.[4]
