Archive material and source history

Xaxaras Roots came out of São Paulo with a sound that mixed samba, reggae, and rock. Their 2005 debut album introduced that blend, but it was their 2008 record 'A Cidade do Ódio Gratuito' that really connected. The title track became something of an anthem, speaking directly to the city's tensions.

They wrote about inequality and racism in plain terms, which didn't always sit well with local authorities. The band faced regular harassment and threats, but they kept playing. Their shows drew people together, turning into gatherings where those shared frustrations found a voice.

Songs like 'Tenha o Que Merece' and 'Viajante do Tempo' carried that same direct energy. The lineup included Marcelo 'Duia' Santos on vocals and percussion, Ricardo 'Rica' Marques on guitar, Bruno 'Bruninho' Prado on bass, and Guilherme 'Gui' França on drums. They put out albums in 2012 and 2016 that stayed focused on those themes of resistance and solidarity.
