Dub Manual Unveils Powerful New Single “Tempo,” Featuring Alex Romariz, on Tropical Diaspora Records
Berlin, Olinda, São Paulo – Dub Manual, the innovative dub project helmed by Olinda-based musician and producer Sanzyo Rafael, announces the release of its profound new single, “Tempo,” out now on Tropical Diaspora Records. The track, featuring the compelling vocals of Alex Romariz, is a raw and spiritual journey that merges the social realism of Brazilian lyricism with the deep, meditative pulses of Jamaican dub.
“Tempo” opens with a haunting, relatable question to the disenfranchised: “Tá desacreditando da ideia né, nêgo?” (“You’re losing faith in the idea, right, man?”). From there, vocalist Alex Romariz delivers a lyrical testament to resilience, painting a vivid picture of daily struggles, divine faith, and the relentless race against time. The lyrics speak of leaving the house unprotected, facing countless hardships (perrengues), and enduring on faith alone against the torment of an empty stomach.
Yet, “Tempo” is ultimately a song of hope and forward motion. Its chorus marks a shift in consciousness: “Tempo que se passa pra uma nova direção / não tem tempo perdido basta ter percepção” (“Time that passes for a new direction / There’s no lost time, only a need for perception”). It’s a message of unification, preparation, and healing wounds of the past, urging listeners to believe in the next step.
Musically, Sanzyo Rafael (Dub Manual) masterfully frames Romariz's poignant performance within a heavy, processed dubscape. The track is built on a bedrock of warm, resonant basslines, punctuated by echoing snares, spaced-out synths, and the characteristic sound system effects that define the project. It’s a perfect synthesis—the soul of Olinda’s streets meeting the infinite echo chamber of Kingston.
This release on Tropical Diaspora Records perfectly encapsulates the label's mission, representing a true sound of the tropical diaspora where cultural roots and modern struggles are expressed through interconnected global rhythms.
“Tempo” by Dub Manual featuring Alex Romariz is available now on all major digital streaming platforms and for direct purchase and high-quality download via Bandcamp.

Dub Manual Lança o Poderoso Single “Tempo”, com participação de Alex Romariz, pela Tropical Diaspora Records
Berlin, Olinda, São Paulo – Dub Manual, o inovador projeto de dub comandado pelo músico e produtor de Olinda, Sanzyo Rafael, anuncia o lançamento do seu novo e profundo single, “Tempo”, disponível agora pela Tropical Diaspora Records. A faixa, que conta com os vocais compellingos de Alex Romariz, é uma jornada crua e espiritual que funde o realismo social da lyrical brasileira com as batidas meditativas e profundas do dub jamaicano.
“Tempo” começa com uma pergunta angustiante e-relatável aos desfavorecidos: “Tá desacreditando da ideia né, nêgo?”. A partir daí, o vocalista Alex Romariz entrega um testemunho lírico de resiliência, pintando um quadro vívido das lutas diárias, da fé divina e da corrida relent against time. A letra fala sobre sair de casa desprotegido, enfrentar inúmeras dificuldades (perrengues) e resistir apenas pela fé contra o tormento de uma barriga vazia.
No entanto, “Tempo” é, em última análise, uma canção de esperança e movimento para a frente. Seu refrão marca uma mudança de consciência: “Tempo que se passa pra uma nova direção / não tem tempo perdido basta ter percepção”. É uma mensagem de unificação, preparação e cicatrização das feridas do passado, exortando os ouvintes a acreditarem no próximo passo.
Musicalmente, Sanzyo Rafael (Dub Manual) emoldura magistralmente a performance comovente de Romariz dentro de uma paisagem dub pesada e processada. A faixa é construída sobre uma base de linhas de baixo warm e ressonantes, pontuadas por snares com echo, synths espaciais e os característicos efeitos de sound system que definem o projeto. É uma síntese perfeita—a alma das ruas de Olinda encontrando a câmara de eco infinita de Kingston.
Este lançamento pela Tropical Diaspora Records encapsula perfeitamente a missão do selo, representando um verdadeiro som da diáspora tropical, onde raízes culturais e lutas modernas são expressas por meio de ritmos globais interconectados.
“Tempo” de Dub Manual com participação de Alex Romariz já está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de streaming digital e para compra direta e download de alta qualidade via Bandcamp.
