D'Rolé is a Brazilian reggae band from Salvador, Bahia that started playing in the late 1990s. Their music often carries a social or political edge, which has drawn both support and criticism over time. Songs like 'Até Mais Tarde' and 'Longe do Padrão' show their style, mixing reggae with other sounds like hip-hop or samba.
They've put out a number of albums, including Nação Zumbi in 1999, Rolé Pesado in 2001, and Até Mais Tarde in 2022. The band's lineup has included Tonho Matéria on vocals, Bimba on guitar, Ricardo Oda on bass, and Iggor Cavalera on drums.
Early on, they dealt with financial strain and some legal disputes about their songs and name. Those issues didn't stop them from building a following, though their path hasn't been smooth. Their work continues to resonate with listeners who connect with its messages and rhythms.
