Background notes
Archive material and source history
Borro e Dorré formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s, with Carlos Ernest (who went by Borro) as the vocalist. They were one of the Brazilian bands that took up reggae during that period, drawing from Jamaican sources but singing in Portuguese about local concerns. Their 1984 track "Rap do Rastafary" became their best-known song, an upbeat reggae piece that touched on Rastafarian themes and social unity.
They released several albums through the 1980s, including 'Reggae do Verde' in 1983 and 'Cidadão' in 1988. The band's straightforward reggae sound and lyrics about peace and justice sometimes drew scrutiny from authorities, and they faced occasional performance bans. That friction, though, seemed to strengthen their connection with a core audience who appreciated their message.
By the early 1990s, they had put out 'Um Novo Mundo,' but the group's activity tapered off not long after. Their music, particularly "Rap do Rastafary," remains a reference point for that era of Brazilian reggae, remembered for its direct style and the social consciousness it carried.
