According to their own statement, Irie Révoltés aim at denouncing social ills while spreading positive energy with their music.
They wants to encourage change through their socio-political engagement.
Amongst other things, they support the project “Respekt!”,
which fights against prejudice, racism, homophobia and sexism“ and are activists of “Viva con Agua de St.
Pauli”, an association that works to bring clean drinking water to the “global South”.
Songs as Viva con Agua and Walk with Us (ft.
Gentleman) were written in order to make the concerns of the association heard.
Irie Révoltés are also committed to individual actions.
In autumn 2009, the band appeared several times during the Bildungsstreik (student mobilization) and supported the protest together with Chaoze One offering a song for free-download.
To promote the initiative “Kein Platz für Rassisums” ("No Place for Racism"), which took place in Frankfurt, Irie Révoltés have written the song Viel zu tun (There's still much to do).
Focus of their social commitment is “Rollis für Afrika”, brought into being by the front man Mal Élevé in 2003 in order to help people with disabilities in Senegal.
The band promotes the project organizing charity concerts, information stands and through targeted actions.
In spring 2012, Mal Élevé and Carlito were appointed members of the jury that first awarded the Youth Peace Prize of the German Association for the United Nations (DGVN).
The prize acknowledges and promotes the engagements of young people in issues concerning the United Nations.
