Background notes
Archive material and source history
Sonnen formed in Florianópolis in the early 1990s, with Carlos Colla, Marcos Mello, and Paulo Ricardo coming together around Jamaican reggae sounds. They mixed that with Brazilian roots music, creating something that felt local rather than imported. Their 1997 album 'Primeira Letra Raiz' gave them a solid foundation.
Their lyrics often dealt with social justice, poverty, and inequality, which brought them both admiration and trouble. They faced legal challenges and public criticism, accused at times of inciting violence. They didn't back down from those themes, using their music as a platform while keeping the reggae rhythm central.
Over time, the band included players like Carlinhos Corrente on guitar, Alexandre Fetter on keyboards, and Dum Dum on trumpet. They released albums like 'Raizes' in 2000 and 'Reggae Raiz' in 2003, staying close to their roots sound while the Brazilian reggae scene grew around them.
