"Nama Rupa's conscious, laid-back vibe stands on its own. They're on the verge of redefining the Madison sound." - Rich Albertoni, The Isthmus
"Nama Rupa...plunging earnestly and urgently into reggae's syncopations and political rants." - The Onion
Nama Rupa is a soulful musical energy from the Midwest, currently with a home base in Madison, Wisconsin. Lending a hand to the "one love" reggae community, Nama Rupa has shared the stage with Lee "Scratch" Perry, Devon Evans of The Wailers, Sister Carol, Jah Boogie's Natty Nation, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Jah Roots, The Cool and Deadly, Chicago Afrobeat Project, The Beautiful Girls, Heavyweight Dub Champion, The Drastics and many others.
Dubbed by the press as a "reggae hybrid", Nama Rupa's three members offer a fresh blend of conscious, reggae dub with strong funk and hip hop undertones. Eclectic beats, catchy melodies and a psychedelic vibe keep fans dancing; while the lyrics, flowing from self-reflective to socially critical, keep them thinking. Whether fast or slow, the songs are always groovin' and Nama Rupa is sure to keep any venue on their feet, dancing and thirsty!
