Background notes
Archive material and source history
Expressão Regueira formed in Guinea-Bissau in 1998, with Manecas Costa on vocals and songwriting. The group included Fernando Lopes on guitar, Bucho on bass, and Zé Bandim on drums. They put out their debut album 'Nhacoma' in 2004, which gave them a national profile. The title track became something of an anthem, especially among younger listeners.
Their music mixed reggae with local rhythms, and the lyrics often touched on social issues. This approach sometimes put them at odds with authorities, and a few songs were reportedly kept off the air. They kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s, with albums like 'Terra Rica' and 'Paz e Amor'.
Other tracks like 'Lembranças De Um Luau' and 'Lesado' show the band's range, from reflective to more driving grooves. The lineup expanded over time to include Constantino Adão on keyboards and Djamel Diatta on backing vocals. They were still putting out records as recently as 2020 with 'Sankofa'.
