Archive material and source history
Kumina Roots formed in Salvador, Brazil in 2001. They started playing local venues and street festivals, building a following with their reggae sound. Their debut album came out in 2005, titled "À Caminho de Ponta de Pedras" after one of their songs.
Their lyrics often touched on social issues, which sometimes drew attention from authorities. They kept recording anyway, putting out albums like "Pra Frente" in 2007 and "Liberdade" in 2010. Songs like "Determina" and "Lado Reggae" show their mix of reggae rhythms with Portuguese lyrics about everyday life in Brazil.
The band's lineup included Gilberto Gilmar on vocals, André Santana on bass, and Gilmar Santana on drums. They released "Resistência" in 2014. Their music found listeners who appreciated straightforward reggae with a local perspective, without much studio polish or industry backing.
