— they are already 22 years, how were the beginnings of the band?

The group arises in the year 2000, in Santiago, with roots growing from the depths of reggae, while its fruits ripen in the expansion of Latin American music, reflecting this on their two studio albums: Namesake (2008) and get on (2012).

For example, recording discs has a high cost that is difficult to finance, it gets heavy, especially if you are not playing on the radio or you are not on the grid of large festivals. We see that the current reggae scene is sustained by the strength and perseverance of the bands underground and emerging over the already established artists of the genre.
12Tribus has also participated in major festivals and has shared stages with major international artists. as Kimany Marley, Prophetic Culture, The CAFRES, Easy Stars All Stars, among others, as well as with a variety of national artists such as Original movement, Congress, Gondwana, to name a few.
