Pour ce premier post à caractère international, je voulais vous présenter (pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas) Natiruts un groupe de reggae brésilien qui a su s'imposer "emblème du reggae Brésilien" (selon le Monde music) notamment grâce à ce single "Beija Flor" (tiré de l'album Reggae Power, que je trouve plutôt bien réussi, qu'ils ont vendu à près de 450000 exemplaires et leurs 9 disques dont le dernier sorti cette année Racaman.

Une petite chanson de leur prochain album, lors d'un concert au Melkweg à Amsterdam le mois passé. EnJoY!
