Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tafari Roots formed in Salvador, Brazil in 1995 around singer-guitarist Alexandre Tavares and bassist Júnior. They released their debut album 'Equilíbrio' in 2000, which brought them wider attention in Brazil. Their music often carries social messages, as heard in songs like 'Menino De Roda' from 2004, which addresses the situation of street children.
Later albums like 'No Tempo' (2007) and 'O Mundo É Nosso' (2012) continued their blend of reggae with Brazilian sounds. Other musicians who have played with the band include Sereno on drums, Reggae Vibes on keyboards, Pinda on guitar, and Buiú on percussion. They've worked with artists like Gilberto Gil and Natiruts.
Their catalog includes tracks such as 'Faca De Ponta', 'Agora', and 'Fé Na Viola' that maintain their rhythmic reggae foundation while touching on everyday life and social themes. The band has toured regularly, performing their music for audiences in Brazil and internationally.
