---------------------------------------

Rastrillos surge en la Ciudad de Mèxico en el año de 1988, en medio de una sociedad en bùsqueda de la democracia. En èse contexto no es casual que los integrantes de la banda encntraran en el reggae no sòlo a un gènero musical que les permitiò expresar su sentir y pensar, sino a un movimiento cultural de resistencia contra la pèrdida de las raìces y la cultura de los pueblos; sonidos y palabras que invitan a la reflexiòn y a la construcciòn de una comunidad màs sensible a los problemas que la rodean. La actual mùsica de Los Rastrillos refleja el tiempo transcurrido desde sus inicios, la experiencia de haber tocado en diferentes espacios del paìs y compartido escenarios tanto con grupos representativos de la escena nacional como de la internacional, le ha permitido a la banda asimilar todo tipo de influencias musicales, conservando al mismo tiempo su visiòn del reggae como un instrumento de comunicaciòn.
