Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cadif 21 formed in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro's Complexo da Maré neighborhood. The group came together as young musicians from the favelas, working with what they had to create music that spoke to their surroundings.
Their sound pulls from Brazilian funk with touches of rap and reggae, and their lyrics often deal directly with life in marginalized communities. Songs like 'Explosão' and 'Viver Ou Sonhar' became local hits, connecting with listeners who recognized the stories in them.
The band includes MC Igu and MC Guéri on vocals, DJ Rael on production, and Pedro Henrique on bass. They've released singles and a few albums, including 2021's 'Explosão' and 2023's 'Voz do Gueto', which continued to explore social themes from their perspective.
Some critics have taken issue with the content in their music, but the group maintains they're just reflecting the reality they know. Their work has found an audience particularly among younger listeners in similar circumstances.
