Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lil Tatu is the stage name of Rafael Machado, a rapper from São Paulo. His 2015 single "Eu Tô Maki" became a breakout hit in Brazil, mixing hip-hop with funk and Brazilian rhythms. The song's lyrics often dealt with life in the favelas, touching on poverty and social issues with a direct, sometimes explicit style.
In 2016, he was arrested for marijuana possession, which added to debates about his music. He worked with producer Bruno Novaes and released projects like the 2016 EP "Tatu Bom" and the 2017 album "O Mundo É Nosso."
His later work included albums such as "Baile do Tato" in 2019 and "Tatuismo" in 2021. While some criticized his lyrics, his music connected with many young listeners in Brazil who related to its themes of resilience and everyday struggles.
