Background notes
Archive material and source history
Legurba came out of Rio de Janeiro in the late 1990s with a sound that mixed rap, reggae, funk, and Brazilian rhythms. Their debut album 'República Popular' arrived in 2004, followed by records like 'Na Contramão' in 2007 and 'Somos a Resistência' in 2010.
Their song 'Vamos Salvar a Nação' became something of a rallying cry, with lyrics that often dealt with social issues. The band's core members included vocalist Marcelo D2, guitarist Zé Gonzales, and percussionist Cacau.
They worked with other Brazilian artists like Elza Soares and Chico Buarque. Their music tended to address topics like inequality and police brutality, and it found an audience among people looking for political engagement.
