ROYAL RUDES, a reggae group from SAN ANDRES ISLAND, offers an original opus with lyrics in English or Spanish, inspired by the Rasta philosophy and with music influenced by the Afro-Caribbean rhythms, mixing "reggae roots", "dance hall" and "ska" in a unique sound.

Their adventure started in 2010 when Ricardo Newball, dedicated to ensure the recognition of the skills and originality of local reggae artists, invited six of the best musicians of the Island to work together to form a band. Talent, complicity and charisma did the rest: the mix is perfect!.. and their energy did get crowds up and moving at their concerts. With more than 400 shows on regional stages, ROYAL RUDES established themselves as the best Reggae group in San Andres.

2013 was to be their pivotal year:
In April, ROYAL RUDES is chosen the best Reggae Group in South America by winning the grand finale of "Rototom Latino Contest", in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This feat was followed in August by an invitation to perform on the mainstage of the most important reggae festival of Europe: "Rototom Sunsplash" in Benicassim, Spain. In November, Royal Rudes got two nominations for best reggae song: one for "FREEDOM" in the "Premios Shock Tigo 2013" in Bogota, the second for "WHAT YOU GONNA DO " in the ENAI prize in San Andres.
