Editor's note

Cabal Tribal's Brazilian rhythms with a political edge

A Rio de Janeiro collective that mixed reggae, hip-hop, and funk with social themes.

For their sound, start with "Agora Vem." For their message, try "O Grito."

Their track "Agora Vem" landed on the City of God soundtrack, which gave their sound a wider platform. Songs like "Mundo Novo" and "O Grito" carried that same blend of danceable grooves and activist messaging. They weren't just making party music; they were putting Brazilian rhythms to work.

They formed in Rio in the late '90s and put out their self-titled debut in 2002. Albums like "Resistência" in 2005 and "Semente" in 2008 followed, with "Raízes" arriving in 2011. The lineup included Cadu Tenório on vocals and guitar, Liminha on bass, and a full percussion section.
