Background notes
Archive material and source history
Jamaica Groove formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1995, drawing from Jamaican reggae traditions while mixing in Brazilian sounds. Their debut album 'Sinta o Groove' came out in 1997, anchored by the title track that became a hit in Brazil. They followed it with 'Reggae na Veia' in 1999 and 'No Fundo do Nosso Quintal' in 2002.
The band's lineup has included Leonardo Costa on vocals and guitar, Marcos Salomão on bass, Oziel Moura on keyboards, and Bruno Remy on drums. Their songs like 'Deixa a Chuva Lavar' and 'O Progresso Da Nação' often touch on social themes, though they've kept the music grounded in reggae rhythms.
In 2000, Jamaica Groove faced plagiarism accusations over 'Sinta o Groove,' which led to a legal dispute. They came through it and kept recording, putting out tracks such as 'Ironia do Destino' and 'A Hora É Agora.' Their work has stayed within the Brazilian reggae scene without much fanfare about crossing borders or reshaping the genre.
