Background notes
Archive material and source history
MC Jaq is a Brazilian rap collective that formed in the 1990s around Jacques Barbosa, who goes by the same name as the group. They came up in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, where they started performing in underground clubs and community centers. Their song 'Fazer Valer' came out in 2001 and became an anthem that resonated with many Brazilians, addressing social inequality and injustice.
That track helped push them into wider recognition. They've put out albums like 'Só Pra Repassar' in 2004, 'Favelô' in 2007, and 'A Vida É um Rap' in 2012. Other songs in their catalog include 'Me Diz', 'O Falta Que Faz Teu Amor', and 'Sinal Com a Mão'. Their sound pulls from samba, funk, and reggae alongside rap beats, giving it a distinctly Brazilian feel.
