Brazilian Reggae Events This Week in Amsterdam

About Brazilian Reggae

Brazilian Reggae, locally known as Reggae Brasileiro, emerged in the late 1970s, flourishing particularly in Maranhao and Salvador through the influence of Jamaican imports and local MPB. This genre utilizes a standard reggae setup including syncopated electric bass, skank guitar patterns, and keyboards, often enhanced by traditional Brazilian percussion such as the surdo or pandeiro. Characterized by a relaxed mid-tempo pulse and a laid-back, sun-drenched atmosphere, it frequently blends conscious lyrical themes with melodic sensibilities derived from samba and pop. While deeply rooted in roots reggae and dub, it maintains a unique cultural identity by incorporating Portuguese lyrics and regional rhythmic nuances, making it a pivotal bridge between Caribbean traditions and Brazilian musicality.
