Biography
Los Cafres is an Argentine reggae band, formed in late 1987. The group achieved popular recognition in the mid-1990s, with the release of their first album, Frecuencia Cafre. The term «cafre» comes from the Arabic adjective "kafir", which in the first instance means "unfaithful" and which later changed its meaning towards "brutal to the highest degree"; meaning of the term with which the band chooses to identify itself.
