What are the heaviest roots artists in Brazil called? Can anyone tell me? Cidade negra arent really heavy heavy roots but reggae is well popular there, any info well appreciated

Ale Muniz might be a good place to start, he has some great roots out, as well as Herva Nativa, tribo de Jah. another too that i really enjoyed is Leoes De Israel...

hey , here i have some good brazilian bands



-Monte zion
-Profetas d'zion
-Ras ciro lima
-Sine calmon & morrão fumegante
-Ponto de equilibrio
-Tin tin gomes
-Edson Gomes ( they are brothers)
-Nabby clifford
and of course the bands that jahganja7 said!

bless

ponto de equilibrio was one in particular that i was forgetting. i enjoy them a great deal...
i will check the others out poorbeats, thanks.

portuguese is an absolutely beautiful language sung (or spoken) and it goes so well with a nice roots riddim

Try to find artists from state of Maranhão. The capital, city of São Luis, is called "Brazilian Jamaica".
Tribo de Jah and Ale Muniz, for exemple, are from Maranhão.
Look for Celia Sampaio, Capital Roots, Guetos, Legenda, Filhos de Jah, Santacruz, Kazamata...
Nice vibrations!

reggae moda até aki rsrsrs isso é osso......

reggae nacional pra mim é tribo de jah , o resto embrulha pra presente....

thanks y'all!!!more info please from anyone who has it

Mato Seco and Filosofia Reggae are two of my favorites from Brazil

The only Latin American group i can think of which is not Brazilian but from Chile and that`s "Gondwana".A very good modern day group which still retains a roots driven style and is top notch especially albums like "Second Coming","Together" and "RAS Portraits" are all well worth purchasing with regards to espanol roots reggae.

Peace out!(tu)

yes i am from chile and gondwana WAS great , now a lot of the integrants gone , together is a great album .


peace
