Background notes
Archive material and source history
Grupo CRIA formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s around Marcelo D2, who had already gained attention as a solo rapper. They brought together samba, funk, and hip-hop, with Marcelo D2 on vocals alongside Xis on percussion, Behr on keys, and Ganjaman on guitar. Their 2005 album 'Acústico MTV' became a breakthrough release.
Their songs often address social issues in Brazil, with tracks like 'O Bolo' becoming particularly well-known for its commentary on corruption. Other songs in their catalog include 'Brincadeira,' 'A Avó,' and 'Você Não Perde Por Esperar.' The band's lyrics have drawn both connection and criticism for their direct portrayal of urban realities.
In 2004, they faced legal issues over copyright that led to a temporary ban on their music. They continued recording afterward, putting out albums like 'Perfil' in 2007 and 'Nação Zumbi' in 2011. Their sound mixes Brazilian rhythms with hip-hop and electronic elements, avoiding easy categorization.
