Background notes
Archive material and source history
Canibalistas formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, with Pedro Luis, André Pretinho, and DJ Negralha starting the group. They worked from funk carioca's syncopated rhythms and heavy basslines, then mixed in rap, rock, and reggae elements. Their song 'Gênio Numa Garrafa' became something of an anthem.
The track 'Nosso Idílio' criticized how poverty was being handled, and it upset some officials. They kept at it anyway, using their lyrics to speak about things others weren't talking about.
They put out albums like 'Samba do Morro' in 1996, 'Pequeno Diccionario Amoral' in 1998, and 'Nosso Idílio' in 2000. Another song, 'Vida de Americano,' also shows up in their catalog. They were making music that reflected experiences from Rio's favelas, without smoothing over the rough edges.
