Planta & Raiz e Burning Spear
Por: Pankeca – REGGALIZE
Olá….
Estou de volta com mais duas Bandas pra vocês: Planta & Raiz (Nacional) e Burning Spear (Internacional).
BANDA NACIONAL – PLANTA & RAIZ
Tudo começou em 98, quando Zeider e Fernandinho, colegas de escola, uniram-se ao amigo Samambaia para tocar covers de Bob Marley e Cia. Na feira da Vila Madalena, em São Paulo. Após esta apresentação, os acontecimentos seguintes foram muito positivos para a banda. Vieram somar e enriquecer o grupo Franja, Cuio e Juliano.
Enquanto tocavam em bares e casas noturnas, na capital e no litoral paulista, os garotos desenvolviam suas próprias canções. A Banda resolveu entrar em estúdio para gravar seu primeiro CD independente, produzido por Kiko Tupinambá. Lançaram então o primeiro single “Que Brota da Terra”, composto por quatro canções próprias. As músicas versam, sobretudo, a vida em harmonia com a natureza e toda a “positive vibration” característica do reggae.
A música “Com Certeza”, fala da boa sensação de “purificar a alma” em um banho de cachoeira, marcou o início da carreira da banda. Planta & Raiz já dividiu o palco com celebridades como Gregory Isaacs, The Wailers, Tribo de Jah, Edson Gomes, Natiruts, entre outros. No I Festival Nacional de Reggae, em 2001, a banda foi a única convidada para representar São Paulo e tocou para mais de 60 mil pessoas. O Single já somava a venda de 10 mil cópias.
Dirigido por Rick Bonadio, foi gravado o segundo CD “Este é o Remédio”, no Midas Estúdio, com a participação de Zé Orlando (Tribo de Jah). Seguido de seu lançamento, alcançou a marca de 80 mil cópias vendidas.
Em 2002, o grupo recebeu o Prêmio Qualidade Brasil, atribuído pelo International Quality Service, com banda de maior destaque no meio artístico musical.
Paralelamente aos shows, a Banda compôs as músicas para um novo CD “De Cara pro Mundo”, com a direção de Rick Bonadio, produção Musical de Rodrigo Castanho e direção de Kiko Tupinambá.
Fernandinho, Zeider, Franja, Cuio, Samambaia e Juliano
O CD foi lançado nacionalmente com quatorze músicas próprias e uma regravação de “A dois passos do Paraíso”, sucesso dos anos 80 com a Banda Blitz. A canção foi destaque nas rádios do segmento jovem em todo o território nacional e ganhou um vídeo clip, dirigido por Marcelo Rossi. Outro vídeo clip da banda é “De cara pro Mundo”.
Em 2005 a Banda gravou seu novo CD/DVD ao vivo, com participações especiais de Chorão (Charlie Brown Júnior) que cantou com Zeider a música título do novo trabalho “Gueto do Universo”, Rappin Hood, Evandro Mesquita e Rick Bonadio. No início de 2006, a música Gueto do Universo alcançou os primeiros lugares de execução nas principais rádios do país e o novo sucesso da banda já começa a despontar na primeira página do Crowley (Informativo de Pesquisa de Execuções em Rádios) como uma das mais executadas. A releitura da música “Te Ver” do Skank já faz sucesso nas rádios e nos shows.
Além disso, a Banda também foi convidada a participar de dois projetos internacionais. O CD “El Albun Verde” lançado na Argentina é uma homenagem aos Beatles através do reggae, onde participam de toda América latina. O Planta gravou a música “Don´t Let me Down”. O outro projeto que acabou de ser lançado em Portugal é o CD “Copa Reggae”, onde participam bandas do Brasil, Angola e Portugal.
Atualmente, a Banda prepara as músicas do novo CD a ser lançado no início de 2007. É esperar pra ver o que está por vir!

BANDA INTERNACIONAL – BURNING SPEAR
Em 1969, Burning Spear, ou melhor, Winston Rodney (seu nome original) iniciava sua original carreira no Studio One com o single “Door Peep”. O nome Burning Spear foi uma homenagem a Jomo Kenyatta, primeiro presidente do Quênia (significa flecha fumegante, Burning Spear, era o nome que o líder assumiu quando lutava contra os ingleses pela independência) – o que dá o tom de seu trabalho, marcado pela militância política e rasta.
Nos anos 70 fez pela Island Records alguns dos seus melhores discos: Marcus Garvey, Man in The Hills, Dry & Heavy e Social Living.
Em seus shows ele se entrega, se contorce, clama, chora – desempenho que sempre acontece durante a musica “Slavery Days”, emocionante lamento sobre a escravidão.
Sua firmeza na crença rasta pode ser resumida por esta declaração: “Eu não canto para fazer ninguém crer em Selassié ou no que eu defendo. Eu canto sobre o que sei que é certo”.
Spear já foi nomeado para o Grammy diversas vezes, tendo vencido uma delas com o álbum “Calling Rastafari”.
Burning Spear a lenda musical não somente produziu um grande trabalho, que está entre os melhores do reggae mundial, ele excursionou também pelo mundo diversas vezes. Seus shows atraem um grande público de todas as idades, e isso vem acontecendo por cerca de 30 anos. Como um profeta musical teve sempre um foco cultural e espiritual profundo em toda sua carreira. Suas letras também falam muito no profeta Marcus Garvey, um de seus temas favoritos.
Burning Spear
A Lenda viva do Reggae já se apresentou no Brasil, e inclusive passou por nosso solo este ano de 2006, fazendo uma apresentação memorável que contagiou a todos com seus clássicos e sua performance tocando percussão.
O futuro de Burning promete ser ainda mais produtivo, mas para compreender para onde ele está indo, deve ser examinado seu passado. Sua carreira começou em 1969 quando gravou “Door Peep” e o artista desde então continua no topo de todas as paradas e na preferência do público. Seus shows costumam levar grandes multidões e seus discos são sucessos absolutos de crítica e vendas.
