Reggae from Costa Rica.
Kingo Lovers is kuma: lead vocals; noni: percussion & backing Vocals; perez: keyboards &
backing vocals; ari & daniela: guitars; mistico: bass; solar: drums.
Kingolovers was born between July and August 2007. The band was originally named
Bamaselo, which had a long standing career in Costa Rica's reggae scene and was just about
to release their first album. Life’s many turns left us without a lead vocalist.
Stranded, without a singer and starting from scratch musically, we decided as a team to bring
then backing vocals Kumary Sawyers to the front of the stage as our lead vocals. Our
philosophy was & always be: One… Together we are one against the odds.
This philosopy has carried us through tough situations, even being kidnapped in Guatemala
prior to a concert in which we still performed, spreading a message to free your soul from the
routine, and fight for oneness and unity.
Kingolovers are known for being hard workers, and in conjunction with our unity, this has set us
apart from other acts in our region. With our brief time as Kingolovers, we have been invited as
the opening act for such artists as Steel Pulse, Julian Marley and as the backing band for
several international artists such as Johnny Dread and Pablo Molina.
The music website Reverbnation.com has listed us as one of the top Reggae bands in their site
and our songs have been played in local reggae radio shows as well as in other countries in
Central America, such as El Salvador and Guatemala.
For the future, Kingolovers plans to extend their message to other countries by way of our soon
to come CD. With a oneness and liberation message on our minds, the goal is to reach
international levels in the upcoming year, with shows in the rest of Central America and the US.
There's a message to be given and people are hungry for it.

Reggae
Nace en Santa fe (Argentina) la primavera del año 1993, luego de la disolución de La Iguana
verdadera piedra fundacional de los ritmos jamaiquinos en esta ciudad. Y crece a raíz del
deseo y el ahínco de la mitad de los integrantes de la desaparecida agrupación que querían
seguir rodando y querían seguir creciendo y hacer crecer un movimiento expresivo-musical
muy poco común por esos años. La tecnología y los medios no eran lo que son hoy en día y el
acceso a la información en general y a los ritmos de esta naturaleza estaba muy restringido.
Por lo cual los miembros de la banda debieron bucear profundo y a veces muy lejos en busca
de esa música. Entonces Btbb se convirtió en una verdadera antena no solo de la ciudad sino
de la región en este sentido.
Se suman integrantes paranaenses a los santafesinos y el crecimiento se torna promisorio. Se
perfila un grupo con muchos integrantes, debido a la importancia que adquieren los
instrumentos de viento, pero que esencialmente son amigos con una búsqueda común: la
doble búsqueda del crecimiento musical y a la vez de la forma en que se generan esas
vibraciones graves y profundas de estos caribeños ritmos, provenientes de la cultura de los
negros en una lejana isla del atlántico. Se suceden los años y las situaciones, y BUTUMBABA
(como todo) sufre una serie de cambios y metamorfosis tanto en el ámbito humano como en el
musical, producto del lógico crecimiento a través del tiempo.
Pero el objetivo no se desvirtúa. Y la esencia se mantiene intacta a la vez que nuevas
tecnologías aparecen y nuevas bandas se forman a partir de esta matriz, de este concepto,
que subyace a pesar de todo y de todos. En el año 1997, y merced al esfuerzo, la banda
puede editar en forma independiente su primer disco de estudio “Skacharpas” (Santa Fe
Recs.) en el que 18 tracks hacen un resúmen de lo que la banda vino trabajando desde sus
comienzos. Siguió la expansión, nuevos desafíos y nuevas mutaciones se hicieron presentes.
Alegrías y muchos esfuerzos.
Compilados Nacionales e Internacionales. Presentaciones en vivo en Santa Fe, en la hermana
Entre Ríos, en Córdoba, en Mendoza, en Bs. As., en Misiones, Río Gallegos, Tucumán, Jujuy,
por mencionar algunos; Festivales de los géneros específicos, Festivales de rock,
producciones propias, invitaciones. La banda cada vez se afinca más en su carga personal a
la hora de hacer música, pero siempre respetando la raíz de los estilos Jamaiquiinos, aunque
sin olvidar la riqueza y profundidad de cada vertiente ofrece. Se convierte de esta manera en
una banda muy difícil de encasillar, debido sobre todo a la variedad musical y a la permanente
experimentación de sonidos.
En un camino sin tregua el concepto BUTUMBABA llega a tierras Aztecas en Abril de 2005
para realizar una gira durante un mes en las ciudades de Distrito Federal, Culiacán y
Guadalajara. No sin esfuerzos, pero si, con asistencia mágica
“ANAHUAC TOUR 05”
se prolonga durante un mes mas en tierras mexicanas y se empieza a gestar el nuevo disco
4/5
Reggae
“Majikakonvinazión” que fue editado en México en el año 2006, en Venezuela, en Colombia y
en los Estados Unidos en el transcurso de 2007, y en la Argentina en Diciembre de 2007.
El disco "Majikakonvinazión" que presenta actualmente BUTUMBABA cuenta con la
colaboración desinteresada de muchos referentes y amigos de la agrupación, algunos
mexicanos: Liber Terán (Los de Abajo), Gorri y Yuss (Panteón Rococó), el venezolano
radicado en México Cheo (ex -Desorden Público [Venezuela], actualmente en Panteón
Rococó) y Sizu Yantra (Café Tacuba).
El toque jamaiquiino se lo brinda I Jah Bones. Los argentinos Fidel Nadal, Cristian Aldana (El
Otro Yo), las Actitud María Marta, el “Negro” Rodrigo de La Cruda (hermano Santafesino)
terminan de cerrar este explosivo disco, tan mágico como inesperado por estas latitudes.
El mismo es un resumen de todo lo que la banda fue viviendo, creciendo y experimentando
durante los últimos diez años.
El concepto Butumbaba continúa en expansión y movimiento…
