Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mc Piolho, whose real name is Felipe Alves de Sousa, came up in the Complexo da Maré favela in Rio de Janeiro. He started making music as a teenager, drawing from the local funk carioca scene and artists like Mc Sapão and Mc Marchinho. His track 'Ipuca Se Acaba Em Salgado' is one of his better-known songs.
His lyrics often deal with explicit themes, which has led to criticism and debate about censorship. In 2013, he was arrested on charges related to inciting violence through his music, though those charges were eventually dropped. He's argued that his work reflects life in the favelas.
He performs with a band that includes DJ Hum on turntables, DJ Magrão on percussion, and backing vocalists Valente and MC Orelhinha. His music is sometimes grouped under the 'proibidão' subgenre of Brazilian funk, known for its raw energy and direct lyrics.
