Their main influences are associated with reggae rhythms and Afro Argentines, Fidel Nadal, is a descendant of Angolan slaves. The band produced 6 albums before being dissolved. In its final years, Lumumba appeared on the rasta stage, as reggae group where Fidel Nadal was also involved. In its short but productive history, it released 3 albums which met with approval by followers of reggae, but then it was dissolved. In the last albums of Todos Tus Muertos and Lumumba, Fidel felt the need to play more reggae and leave the hard music behind, but when both projects disappeared, he decided to go on by himself. In 2001, this new project was born, with a completely rastafarian” image and style. The same year, he launched three albums, Selassie I Dios Todopoderoso,”with lots of reggae and lyrics with pure rasta feeling, including a cover of Tigres del Norte, Cuando gime la raza; and Cabeza negra”with a lot of guest musicians (which gave more variety to the album and made it different from the first one). Finally "Repatriación" appeared, with a number of collaborators, and with another cover of Tigres del Norte, "La Puerta Negra.” Fidel is a distant cousin of tennis player Rafael Nadal.
