Sud Sound System

Sud Sound System is an influential Italian reggae band hailing from the Salento peninsula, in the Puglia region. They first emerged in the 1980s, bringing together a blend of traditional Puglian music with the rhythms and philosophies of reggae and dancehall. This fusion, rich with local dialect and socially conscientious lyrics, has set them apart in Italy's music scene and has garnered them a dedicated following both in their home country and internationally.

The group is known for their strong stance on social issues and their advocacy for the rights and culture of southern Italy. Over the years, Sud Sound System has released several albums and a multitude of singles that showcase their unique sound, which is characterized by the use of the Salentino dialect, the band's roots in reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop, along with a Mediterranean flavor. Some of their recent tracks, such as "Girai Girai," "Frise Toste (Raggamuffin '89)," and "SOULJAZZ," continue to reflect their evolution as artists while staying true to the essence of their identity. Their music often celebrates the joy of life, love, and the value of peace, community and resistance against injustice.
