Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zantar Reggae formed in Salvador, Brazil in 1982, with vocalists Mascote and Rosimary at the front. Their first album, "Música Negra," came out in 1985 and helped establish them as one of the early reggae acts in the country. The record included the song "Índia" alongside the title track.
They released several albums through the 1980s and 1990s, like "Rastaman Vibration" in 1987 and "O Povo Clama" in 1989. The band's lineup included Andrezinho on guitar, Beto on bass, and Jorge on drums.
Some of their lyrics touched on social and political themes, which drew criticism at times. They kept performing and recording, putting out live material like "Ao Vivo" in 1997.
Their music, particularly songs such as "Música Negra," found an audience in Brazil's Afro-Brazilian communities and helped introduce reggae to wider Brazilian listeners during that period.
