The distinctively lilting bass style of Luís Mauricio and the smooth, soulful vocals of Alexandre Carlo are the lynchpins of Natiruts' upbeat reggae sound. Formed in 1996, the band are like a ray of distilled musical sunshine—and that easy charisma saw them quickly rise to prominence. Their funky cuts and easygoing grooves have proved to be enduringly popular, seeing them become a fixture in Brazil and earning them Latin GRAMMY® nominations. A reliable feel-good factor has led them to issue several live albums that capture the community spirit of the Natiruts experience.
