Mc Loirinho

Mc Loirinho is the stage name of Luciano Roberto Mendes, who started making music in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. He came up listening to funk artists like Mc Buchecha and Mr. Catra, and began writing his own lyrics in that style.

In 2012, his song 'Xereca' became a major hit in the Brazilian funk scene. The track's explicit content drew criticism from some groups, but it also made him a prominent figure. He followed it with albums like 'Estilo do Mc Loirinho' in 2013 and 'Meu Mundo' in 2016.

He has worked with other artists in the genre, including Mc Guimê and Kevinho. His music typically combines funk rhythms with direct, often provocative lyrics, and he performs as a solo artist with backing producers and musicians.
