Don't miss one of the most original, entertaining show on the road today...
Once upon a time not so very long ago, a group of young men met each other deep in the wilds of Brazil at the Maranhão School for the Blind. Four of them totally without any sight, the fifth only partially seeing. Their mutual love of music brought them together, and they began to develop their love and passion for music by creating instruments whenever they could and by discovering the tunes that floated in their heads and all around them everyday. After long, hard, and constant practice they became proficient enough to begin playing at popular dances, playing their own particular brand of Brazilian rhythms like ‘serensta’ and ‘lambada’ until one day they discovered the heartbeating rhythm of ‘Reggae’.

Tribo de Jah in portuguese
Era uma vez não faz muito tempo, um grupo de rapazes se encontrou na Escola Para Cegos do Maranhão, no interior do nordeste do Brasil. Quatro deles totalmente deficientes visuais, o quinto enxergando parcialmente. O amor deles pela música os aproximou e eles começaram a desenvolver sua paixão por ela, criando instrumentos toda vez que podiam e descobrindo os temas que pairavam em suas cabeças e em torno deles todo dia. Após praticarem constantemente e durante muito tempo, com muito sacrifício, eles se tornaram conhecedores o bastante para tocar em festas, interpretando em seu próprio estilo ritmos brasileiros tais como “seresta” e “lambada”, até que um dia eles descobriram o fantástico ritmo do “reggae”.

TRIBO DE JAH
The Babylon Inside(Album)
Reggae has long been popular in Brazil and Sao Paulo's Tribo De Jah, based around singer-songwriter and guitarrist Fauzi Beydoun, has been a recording outfit for well over decade .In the last few years the band has become a feature on the international reggae circuit with shows in the pacific, USA, and even Jamaica itself .This cd proves that Tribo de Jah deserve their sucess, with a rich , agreeably mellow style that dras from the sound of 70s roots reggae whilst keeping an acessible approach and keen melodic sense, plus elements from othe Brazillian styles, and a little bit of rock sensibility.
Beydoun composed all but one of the songs,which are mostly sung in Portugueseand often have beautiful and fragile feel, whilst other are (comparatively)hard-hitting and direct.There is some use of english occasionally -it really is ot necessary, but it may help to reach a wider audience, I guess.Those who were around during the punk revolution should try to hear what Tribo de Jah do to the Lee Perry/Max Romeo classic "War In A Babylon".Worth checking out if your interests run to reggae of world music.

Bio
Tribo de Jah was formed in Maranhão, a state in the North of Brazil by four blind musicians and two other members. The band has been playing for 22 years all around the world in different languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese). The band conquered thousands of loyal fans specially in Brazil with consistent lyrics and a very original sound that makes the band unique in its style. The band released already 14 albums and two dvds, the last ond called Live in Amazon.
------------------------------------
The history of the band ”Tribo de Jah” began in the School of Blind in the northern state of Maranhão, where four blind musicians and a fifth musician with partial vision (only in one eye), started to develop a taste for music, improvising instruments and discovering timbres and chords.
Later they began to carry on their dreams and they started to perform shows in public at dances in the capital of Maranhão (Sao Luiz) and other cities in the interior of the state, presenting covers of Seresta, Reggae and Lambada. It was at this moment that the well-known broadcaster Fauzi Beydoun appeared. Born in São Paulo, the son of Italian/Lebanese immigrants who already had spent four years on the Coast d’Ivory (Africa), Fauzi was a great aficionado of the reggae culture which was effervescent in Sao Luis and which was an almost inexplicable phenomenon in Brazilian land of Maranhão. Invading initially the ghettos, reggae later took hold all over the city, the interior of the province, and then the neighboring states.
This musical style which would originate the under the name of "BRAZILIAN JAMAICA”, swept like a wave to the capital Maranhão. Hundreds of clubs of reggae with their "radiolas" (powerful equipment of sound that charged the rhythm when still was not touched in the mainstream radio stations) opened their doors and later opened the door to diverse programs of radio shows that finally would come to spread the message of reggae to the masses.
It was on this thought that “Tribo de Jah” spread its reggae roots with messages of love, peace, social politics, and divine intervention in Life.
After ten years of hard work, the band culminated its original quest on main stage of reggae world-wide (REGGAE SUNSPLASH FESTIVAL - JAMAICA 95). The band now is the top selling Brazilian artists in the four cantons of Brazil (Belém, Porto Alegre, Canecão / Metropolitam and Olimpia - São Paulo) plus many international points (Argentina, French Guyana, Europe, and the USA). The group now has 14 top selling albums to their credit.
