Background notes
Archive material and source history
Polícia do Exército formed in 1994 in Rio de Janeiro, a group of young musicians who channeled their experiences with the city's military police into music. Their song 'Tapa Na Cara a PE Tá Chegando' became something of a rallying cry, giving voice to frustrations that resonated with many in the city's marginalized communities.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, they developed a cult following. They released albums like 'Tapa Na Cara' in 1996 and 'Fogo Nos Racistas' in 2000.
The original lineup included Bruno 'Buja' Martins on vocals, Leo 'Coroa' Oliveira on bass, Márcio 'Pitbull' Magalhães on drums, and Beto 'Fabuloso' on guitar. Their music remained a provocative outlet, sparking debates about whether it glorified violence or simply reflected a harsh reality for many in Rio.
