Background notes
Archive material and source history
Funk U formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1990s around brothers Pedro and Paulo Novaes, who brought in friends Andre Henriques and Vinicius Soares. Their debut album came out in 1996, featuring the track 'A Festa' which became a hit in Brazil's funk carioca scene.
Pedro Novaes handled lead vocals as MC Colibri, with Paulo Novaes rapping as MC Sapão. Andre Henriques worked as DJ Bico on production, while Vinicius Soares played bass. Their music drew from funk, rap, and samba, with songs like 'De Sol a Sol' and 'É Só Você Chegar' in their catalog.
Early on, their lyrics about life in Rio's favelas sometimes ran into censorship issues. They kept making music that reflected those realities without softening their approach.
