Background notes
Archive material and source history
Maguila formed in the late 1990s in the Maré community of Rio de Janeiro, with Marcelo Mello as their vocalist. They started playing at local parties, building a following with a sound rooted in funk carioca. Their 2001 album included the track 'Vida de Campeão,' which became something of an anthem in certain neighborhoods.
In 2003, the band's DJ Tainã died after being electrocuted on stage. The following year, they released 'Tributo a Tainã.' Their music sometimes touched on social themes, and songs like 'Empregado Suicida' and 'Mundo de Cegos' reflected that tendency. Over time, their sound incorporated elements from hip-hop, samba, and reggae.
