  Christafari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christafari is a Christian Reggae band formed in 1990 that is centered around the personality of ordained minister Mark "Tansoback" Mohr (born October 23, 1971), an American born-again Christian who professes that he was once a Rastafarian.
Christafari's claim to be counter cult implies that Rastafari is a cult, their call to a wayward generation implies that the Rastas are wayward or a lost generation while their claim to evangelize the word of God to Rastas implies that Rastas don't have the word of God.
The name "Christafari", according to the band's website, is not a portmanteau of "Christian" and "Rastafari", but is actually derived from Greek words translating as "Those who have seen Christ".
