Roy Lewis aka Lutalo Masimba,[1] better known as Brother Resistance, is a rhythm poet and musician from Trinidad and Tobago.

Career

Born in East Dry River, Trinidad, Brother Resistance became, together with Brother Shortman, the lead singer of the Network Riddim Band, a Trinidadian ensemble, in 1979.[2] They developed a hybrid of soca and rap that they called "rapso", a genre for which they credited Lancelot Layne as originator.[2][3] In between completing studies at the University of the West Indies, Brother Resistance and the Network Riddum Band wrote music for the ensemble, and their 1981 debut album, Busting Out, became a major hit, defining the musical genre that would come to be known as rapso.{{citation needed|date=September 2013}} Busting Out was the first album to use the word rapso.{{citation needed|date=September 2013}}

The band was considered subversive by the authorities, and their rehearsal space and offices were destroyed by the police in June 1983.[2] The group released their first album, Roots of de Rapso Rhythm, in 1984, which was followed by Rapso Explosion and Rapso Takeover in 1985 and 1986 respectively.[2] International performances brought recognition from overseas, changing the attitude of the T&T government, who selected Brother Resistance as their cultural delegate to the World Festival of Youth and Students in Korea.[2]

He appeared at New York's New Music Festival in 1992 and in 1993 at the International Dub Poetry Festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2]
