Background notes
Archive material and source history
Roots Nyabinghi formed in São Paulo, Brazil in the early 1990s, with musicians Dudu Dub, Jr Deejay, and DJ Pablo coming together around Rastafari spirituality and Jamaican reggae rhythms. Their name references the Nyabinghi rhythm, a sacred Rastafari beat, and their connection to African diaspora traditions.
They released albums like "Há Um Lugar" in 1998, "A Semente do Bem" in 2001, and "Amanhecer" in 2004. Their music blended reggae, ska, and dub with Brazilian rhythms like samba, while maintaining a focus on Rastafari consciousness and social themes.
The band's open embrace of Rastafari practices sometimes drew criticism in Brazil, but they continued performing with Dudu Dub on vocals, Jr Deejay on toasting, and DJ Pablo on turntables. They collaborated with artists including Jimmy Cliff and Damian Marley.
