Archive material and source history
Mc Pires was a funk band from Rio de Janeiro that came up in the late 1990s. They had a song called "Vamos Asfaltar o Parque" that caught on in the city's streets. The track's title translates to "Let's Asphalt the Park," which gave their style a name: the asphalt-laying subgenre of funk carioca.
The group included Mc Tavares, Mc Marcelly, Mc Colorido, Mc Sapão, and DJ Paulinho. They put out albums like "Para Sempre Mc" in 2000, "Funk Carioca" in 2002, and a live recording from Parque Madureira in 2003. Their music drew some criticism for explicit content, but it connected with listeners in Rio's neighborhoods.
After a few years, the members went their separate ways to work on solo projects. "Vamos Asfaltar o Parque" stayed in rotation as one of those local anthems that people remember from that time in Brazilian funk.
