TRiBO dE JaH:
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’.
The music of TRIBO DE JAH transcends all borders and appeals to the world-at-large, with songs written and performed in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish.
