Background notes
Archive material and source history
Familia Sesquicentenario CISO formed in 2009 in the CISO favela of Rio de Janeiro, with members including MC Alecrim, MC André, MC Orelha, and MC Perereca. Their name stands for Cantos, Improvisos e Sambas Ostensivos, which roughly translates to songs, improvisations, and overt sambas.
Their music mixes samba, rap, and funk to document life in their community. Songs like "Bombas, Tiroteios" address the violence and tension that shape daily existence in the favelas, with lyrics that describe gunfire and armed presence without softening the reality.
They released albums including "CISO: Cantos, Improvisos e Sambas Ostensivos" in 2016 and "Na Base da Raiz" in 2018. Their work has drawn attention from authorities at times, but they've continued performing and recording from their base in Rio.
