Background notes
Archive material and source history
Marcos Rasta is the stage name of Marcos Roberto Silva, who formed a band under that name in 1993 with musicians Edson Júnior, Márcio Mota, and Paulo Henrique. They put out their first album in 1995, which included the track 'Origem Africana.' That song became particularly well-known for its focus on Afro-Brazilian identity.
Their music often mixes reggae, rap, and samba. Other songs like 'Maconha' and 'Velho Ditado (Cabelo Duro)' are also part of their catalog. The band has been vocal about social issues, which has sometimes led to friction, like when a 2005 festival performance was interrupted after a chant about police brutality.
