Sacal is a dancehall MC from the state of Paraíba, in the North East of Brazil. More specifically he’s from the city of João Pessoa, a beautiful coastal city that for some reason has a reputation for reggae and is full of reggae lovers. Ask a random young person from João Pessoa what they do at the weekend, and they will probably  reply that they sit around in beach bars listening to reggae. Sacal has been a name that has been around for a while now. He started off as a Drum and bass DJ in 1999, then started an underground rap outfit “Eu e Meus Amigos” where he was DJ and producer and has gradually moved into dancehall, but if you listen it`s dancehall with a particular northeastern Brazil flava. The programming and the production could only have come from the North East of brazil.

he has made his new promo CD available for free download, and you can find it here. If you want more, there’s loads of MP3s available at his blog.

Here’s a taster of the Sacal sound, a jegue by the way is a mule: “Gangsta Jegue”
