The Broots

Biography

The Broots
Strange Reggae - Dirty Beat

The Broots weave between the strong vibes of a sunny beach and the sticky beats of western dancefloors.
The duo from Lausanne, Switzerland, was formed in 2014, by two ex-members of the Raggumbians collective (reggae, hip-hop, ska). After several years of stage experience in other musical projects, they lauched a brand new production, in an explosive, strong and wacky mixture, combining reggae, electro-techno, dub and hip-hop; a style that is so hard to describe that the duo even claims to have been bonkers enough as to have invented a new one…

Electronic sounds by DJ Capinezi (Larytta) get grafted onto guitar, keyboards and vocals; add to it texts and melodies that sound eeriely familiar. The mixture is effective and resounding. Positive feedback have already shown that many are convinced and enthoused by a fresh style of roots that can be "commercialised".

In short, The Broots is something new. Throughout their projects and activities in 2015, and thanks to several external collaborations in the USA, France and Switzerland, the group has been offered a growing number of opportunities and musical challenges they are more than ready to take up.
