Background notes
Archive material and source history
Banda New Roots formed in the early 2000s with friends from São Gonçalo, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. They started playing at local gatherings and community events, building a following with their reggae sound. In 2012, they released their debut album "Tudo que a Vida Quer," which brought them wider attention in Brazil.
Their song "O Melhor Pra Nós" became something of an anthem for them, with its themes of unity and resilience. Other tracks like "Um Pedido" and "Vou Pra Canoa" show their straightforward approach to reggae with Brazilian roots. The band includes Marceleza on vocals, Diego Miranda on guitar, Guilherme Almeida on bass, Denis Nogueira on drums, and Renato Aladim on percussion.
Some listeners criticized their lyrics for what they saw as promoting drug use or glamorizing poverty, but the band maintained they were reflecting realities from the communities they knew. They followed their debut with other albums including "Raízes do Temp."
