Background notes
Archive material and source history
Graja Minas formed in 2017 as a collective of musicians from the Grajaú favela in Rio de Janeiro. Their music addresses the realities of life in marginalized communities, with lyrics that are politically direct and often confrontational.
Their 2018 album 'Cypher Genocídio' includes the title track that became associated with movements against police violence. The song's blunt language about systemic issues drew both support and criticism, with some accusing it of inciting violence against police.
They followed with another album in 2021 called 'Favelas Também São Territórios Brasileiros,' continuing to focus on social inequality and land rights. The group's original lineup included Raphão Alaafin on vocals, Aila Menezes and Sara Marques on vocals and percussion, Daniel Silva on guitar and bass, and Ricardo Abrantes on drums.
