Roots

“Roots” is Sepultura’s groundbreaking masterpiece. Following the shift to slower tempos and Latin-tinged rhythms on the album “Chaos A.D.”, “Roots” delves even further into Brazilian musical textures and features significant contributions from iconic Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown, who guided and arranged the sections throughout the album that feature ensemble percussion playing. Both in sound and overall aesthetic, “Roots” is also a conscious nod to Brazil’s marginalized indigenous population and cultures. The song “Itsári” features a Xavante chant that re-appears on the song “Born Stubborn” and serves as a loose thematic thread for the whole album, which on the whole showcases the band’s increased affinity for experimentation and collaboration.
