Orquestra Brasileira de Música Jamaicana

Orquestra Brasileira de Música Jamaicana, often referred to as OBMJ, is a vibrant group from Brazil that has expertly blended the rich rhythms of Jamaican music with the diverse musical culture of their homeland. Formed in 2005, the ensemble has carved a unique niche for themselves by infusing traditional ska, rocksteady, and reggae with the multifaceted sounds of Brazilian music, creating an electrifying and dance-inducing experience.

OBMJ has become renowned for their innovative covers of classic songs, which they infuse with their signature tropical flair, as well as for their original compositions that showcase a delightful fusion of genres. With their recent releases, such as "Maior," "Estrela Maior (Roots Reggae)," and "Monfalcone 15 (Western Ska)," the group continues to celebrate the universal language of music while paying homage to both Jamaican and Brazilian traditions. Live performances like "Obmjazz (Ao Vivo Na Casa De Francisca)" and energetic tracks such as "VAI! (Elektro Brega)" and "Vai!" demonstrate their versatility and ability to get audiences on their feet, making them one of the most exciting acts in the world music scene today.
