For spanish roots "Gondwana" comes to mind, they are a real roots and culture band with very nice melodies. I have only a few cuts by Los Cafres and I also like the cuts I heard.

Big up to our spanish roots brethrens

Thanks for your commments, apreciate all of them..

CHECK OUT "LOS PREICOS" AND "ROOTS NATTY"

mmm Los Pericos <--- not roots band. Only a few tracks are. The rest is a mix of diferent styles inclouding non-reggae, latin, dancehall. Don't recommend it.

Another great band: Filosofía (Naturalístico) from Puerto Rico think so.

I Agree with roots & Culture. Los Pericos are not roots...

Filosofía & Cultura Profética are joining in a free concert here in PR this friday. (Nov. 18)

and there are rumors that they want to record it for a live cd.

Nuff Respect
