What is the balance that you do this almost ten years of "souls of fire"? Or you think there is still much to be done?
RS: There is much yet to improve. We have more mature, of course. The themes are different, they talk about the every day, work, relationships, and life and about the global world around us. Reggae has this whole story, not only in Jamaica but also in Africa, where it has his roots. We try to follow this doctrine.
It was easy for the public to accept reggae sung in Portuguese?
RS: It was. It is easier to "catch" the audience singing in Portuguese. Although, they like to hear songs in English. We have this duality. The band, on the other hand, gains arising to the mixture of their own group members, some are surfers and bodysurfers, and others have a more urban background because they live in the city. This diversity has paid off in terms of music, because everyone has their tastes, but we are united by a common bond that is reggae. We recorded three albums to date, were recently in the university fest, the burning of the ribbons, and we are going to the southwest.
What is the next step?
RS: In the bands there are always changes, this time as we launch an IP, we have reached a stage where we have to celebrate these ten years. A celebration to mark the occasion. Find excerpts, writing new songs, inviting Portuguese or others with different sounds to participate in the record and make a good tour in some EU countries.
As for festivals, they are important to what extent?
RS: Captivate a new audience. We are now facing the new generations, we intend to show sources sounds and not the kind of music that easily one forgets. It is also important because our audience has the opportunity to see us live.
The less positive?
RS: The violence and theft. In these festivals there are more and more people attending concerts and conducive to such incidents. The drug is also another problem. However, there are more positives than negatives aspects. We are talking about musical culture. The pubic want to hear sounds and new bands. Watch the show of the most popular artists and all this helps to magnify the event itself.
What do you think the music scene in our country? For young people who are starting?
RS: They have to work hard. I would not say the market, but in tune with the world. I am talking in terms of musical education, it is necessary and must learn to share music.
