Background notes
Archive material and source history
Severa came out of São Paulo's favelas in the 1990s, led by MC Rick. Their music mixed Brazilian rhythms like samba and funk with hip-hop, and their lyrics talked plainly about life in those neighborhoods. The song 'Cidade sem leis' became particularly well-known, describing a chaotic urban landscape with a melody that stuck with people.
They released albums including 'Severa' in 1997 and 'Cidade sem Leis' in 2000. Other tracks like 'Medo' and 'Minha Guerra' continued in that vein. Some critics said their work glorified violence, but MC Rick described it as just reflecting the reality around them.
Their lineup included DJ Zulu on turntables, Maestro Bigode on percussion, Nando Júnior on bass, and Marcelinho on drums. They won awards like the Prêmio Multishow Brasileiro and played to large crowds, though members also faced legal troubles at times.
