Background notes
Archive material and source history
NoVaTo formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 2000s, with founding members Marcelo D2, Amon Lima, and Skunk bringing together hip-hop, samba, and funk. Their debut album came out in 2003, featuring the track "Falta Nada Não." That song became widely known across Brazil, with lyrics touching on social inequality and poverty.
Their lineup changed over time, with Marcelo D2 leaving in 2008 and others like Negra Li and Gringo Cardia joining. They kept releasing albums, including "NoVaTo na Área" in 2005 and "Não Vai Ter Golpe" in 2010. Another song people remember is "Só Nois Dois."
NoVaTo's music sometimes drew criticism for lyrics about drug use and violence. Members also had legal issues involving copyright disputes and drug possession. They put out more records like "Sem Filtro" in 2013 and "A Verdadeira História de NoVaTo" in 2016.
