Editor's note

MC Funkero's raw São Paulo funk anthems

Their breakout track "Espírito Vândalo" became a favela anthem in the late 1980s.

For the uninitiated, start with "Espírito Vândalo" and "Levando a Vida No Talento." That's where you hear what they were about.

MC Funkero's music gave voice to urban poverty and social injustice in Brazil when few others were doing it. Songs like "Levando a Vida No Talento" and "Desordem e Regresso" had that raw, infectious rhythm that caught São Paulo's mood. They helped move funk beyond its earlier stigma and establish it as a recognized genre.

They came out of São Paulo in the mid-1980s with "Espírito Vândalo" in 1987. The group released albums like "Funk do Morro" in 1989 and "Funk Real" in 1991, with core members MC Russo, DJ Marlboro, and Cidinho e Doca. Their work drew some censorship but connected deeply in Brazil's urban neighborhoods.
