Since the '80s Carabao have written fearless, inventive rock, infusing their tracks with hints of reggae and world music. And their championing of social issues and musical prowess have proved an inspiration for a wave of like-minded artists. The hardcore activism of BrandNew Sunset, the indie exploration of ZeroHero and the soulful vibes of Pongsit Kampee all found influence in the work of Carabao.
