Talvez seja este o mais polêmico e intrigante artista de reggae mundial. Reconhecido internacionalmente como uma lenda da história do ritmo de Jah, Max Romeo é uma das personalidades mais fortes do ritmo. Mesmo afável pessoalmente, com um ar calmo e ponderado, este artista criou revolução com suas letras. Dentre os seus vários clássicos, uma canção mostra bem o teor arrasador e pungente de suas letras: “War Inna Babylon”, banida das rádios jamaicanas pelas autoridades do país
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
