Brazilian reggae band formed in 1997 that came from São Luís, where they recorded the tracks 'Rock Steady' and 'Fly Away' (a version of Jacob Miller's song), but is based in São Paulo.The band's debut album, which features its own name as its title, immediately makes a good impression due to the clarity of its sound, with a precise, mature and swinging rhythm. The lyrics, most of them by bassist and singer Gerson Da Conceição, talk about everyday life, the power of reggae and love, but subtly reminding us that it is also in our daily lives that we can build a better world and not just when we deal with the Big Questions'.
