Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cabo Raiz formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s, with Jorge Alexandre on vocals, Lula on guitar, Zeca on bass, and Joãzinho on drums. Their 1984 debut album shared its name with the song 'Polícia Militar,' which became known for its direct commentary on police violence and inequality.
They followed that album with 'O Samba Vai Virar' in 1987 and 'Falta de Respeito' in 1990. Their music often faced censorship from authorities who objected to its critical stance.
Their performances in favelas and community centers gave their music a particular connection to the neighborhoods they came from. The group's work from that period remains a reference point for socially conscious Brazilian music.
