Sud Sound System is an Italian reggae/dancehall group from Salento, active since 1991. The core singers include Nandu Popu, Don Rico and Terron Fabio. They perform often in the Lecce dialect and address social themes in their lyrics.

The group performs reggae, raggamuffin and dancehall in the Salento dialect; reviews note social themes (including legalization) and an official invitation to perform at the Ocho Rios reggae festival in Jamaica is mentioned in the reviews.

Three DeBaser reviews show Sud Sound System as a Salento reggae/dancehall act that mixes dialect lyrics with social themes. Reviews range from appreciative of cultural authenticity to sharply critical of musical simplicity. Key albums reviewed: Salento Showcase 1994, Lontano (2003), Acqua Pe Sta Terra (2005).

For:Fans of reggae, raggamuffin and dancehall; listeners interested in Salento dialect music and socially-aware lyrics.

 Acqua Pe Sta Terra is a disc of chilling repetitiveness and banality: it wants to convey warmth and gives me the impression of a corpse in the morgue fridge waving its arms, with a fixed smile and a brain turned off forever.

 Lontano, released in 2003 and immediately a milestone and indispensable for anyone wanting to approach the trio’s sounds.

 they're a bit like trash movies, liked because they're awful; I like them because they are extremely modest and humble.
