Best Reggae band from Brazil.
From Brazil Tribo De Jah
About tribo de jah
Once upon a time not so very long ago, a group of young men met each other deep in the wilds of Brazil at the Maranhão School for the Blind. Four of them totally without any sight, the fifth only partially seeing. Their mutual love of music brought them together, and they began to develop their passion for music by creating instruments whenever they could and by discovering the tunes that floated in their heads and all around them everyday. After long, hard, and constant practice they became proficient enough to begin playing at popular dances, playing their own particular brand of Brazilian rhythms like 'serensta' and 'lambada' until one day they discovered the heartbeating rhythm of reggae. The reggae culture had become an unexplained phenomenon in Maranhão State, first invading its ghettos then proceeding to take over the whole interior of the state and beyond its borders, just as the music had around the world. During this time broadcaster 'Fauzi' Beydoun, who had been born in Sao Paulo to Italian-Lebanese parents, had returned to Brazil from the Ivory Coast of Africa with the rhythm of reggae pounding in his heart. As God would have it, Fauzi came across the others playing at a small club and he was greatly affected by the culture that had sprung up around the group and its music. Joining forces, Fauzi & Tribo De Jah decided to take on the world. It was also during this time that the group started to mix its roots reggae with messages of Peace, love, politics and social enlightenment. They played their own version of reggae that differs entirely to the public perception of that 'other' reggae, Jamaican style. Since the release of their first CD, Tribo De Jah have utilized elements of their native Brazilian culture in their songs, making a 'patent' on what is now lovingly referred to as "Brazilian reggae!' The band worked extremely hard over the years, and built a following of faithful fans around the world. A total of six (6) CDs are now on release by the band, distributed by Universal Music Brazil and all with above average sales there of over 60,000 units per title! Their latest release hit 50,000 units sold in less than three months, and the band's live performances continually sell out with an excess of 20,000 estastic fans at each of their concerts straining to see their idols. The music of Tribo De Jah transcends all borders and appeals to the world-at-large, with songs written and performed in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish. Negotiations are currently under way for the global launch of Fauzi & Tribo De Jah's musical catalogue in addition to discussions for live performances by the group this year in the USA, Europe, the Far East and Australia
