Biography

The band Johnny Jack Mesclado emerged in Manaus, Amazonas, on June 25, 1999, in the São Francisco neighborhood. From the beginning, the group stood out for focusing on an original reggae repertoire, giving little to no space for covers, which earned them recognition as one of the references of the genre in the Northern Region of Brazil.

In 2002, the band released their first independent CD, titled "Que Jah Abençoe", which featured nine original songs and a cover of "Homem Rasta", by the musician from Amazonas Cileno. This album was fundamental for the dissemination of reggae in Amazonas and achieved good acceptance in the cultural market of the Southeast of the country, with the song "Aquela Menina" being included in the compilation "Circuito Reggae, Vol. 04".

Throughout their trajectory, Johnny Jack Mesclado participated in several events and music festivals, both in Amazonas and in other Brazilian states, such as the "2º Reaggae'n roll" in Boa Vista and the "Circuito Reggae 4º" in São Paulo. The band has released albums such as "De Fone pro Mundo" (2012) and "Añoranza" (2015), and remains active, producing new music and shows, such as the performance at "Reggae Folia Lives" in 2021, where they presented unreleased compositions created during the period of social isolation.
