Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rubinho do Bronks was born Rubens de Paula in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. His music came out of that environment, mixing funk carioca with rap in the late 1990s. The song 'Vai Sentando Devagar' became his breakout hit around that time.
His lyrics often dealt with life in the favelas, including poverty and police encounters. He released albums like 'Criança Esperança' in 2000 and 'O Som do Bronks' in 2002.
He worked with a small group of musicians including DJ Smoke on turntables and MC Maromba on backing vocals. The music kept a rough, direct quality that felt connected to the neighborhoods where it started.
