Planta e Raiz - Exército Delirante

Review by Paul Broom

Exército Delirante is the latest album from Brazilian reggae band Planta e Raiz. The album consists of 15 tracks, each of which showcases the band's signature sound of roots reggae infused with elements of rock, funk, and dub.

Listeners are immediately drawn in by the opening track "A Sombra da Maldade," with its catchy guitar riffs and upbeat tempo. The album then takes a more contemplative turn with tracks like "Cante a Paz" and "O Que Você Diz," which feature introspective lyrics about love, life, and spirituality.

The band's social and political consciousness is also on display in tracks like "Caminhos Cruzados" and "Nosso Povo," which address issues such as inequality and social injustice. The album's title track, "Exército Delirante," is a standout with its infectious chorus and driving rhythm.

Summary by Paul Broom

Exército Delirante is a solid addition to Planta e Raiz's discography. The band's musicianship and songwriting skills are on full display, and the album is sure to please both longtime fans and newcomers to the band's music.
