Background notes
Archive material and source history
Carlão de Quintino came up in the Quintino neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. He started rapping in the 1990s, drawing from the local hip-hop scene. His debut album, 'Destino D. Pedro II,' came out in 2003, and its title track became a significant song for many listeners.
That song, '33, Destino D. Pedro II,' chronicled life in Rio's favelas. His later albums, like 'Favela Chic' from 2007 and 'Prédio 16' from 2011, continued to explore those settings and themes of social inequality. His keyboardist and producer Rodrigo Moura has been a consistent part of his sound.
Carlão's lyrics have sometimes drawn criticism for touching on sensitive issues. He has collaborated with other Brazilian artists like Mr. Catra and Marcelo D2. In more recent years, he has worked with the United Nations Development Program on a project related to violence in the favelas.
