A Rio band from the 1990s fronted by Marcelo D2.
For a quick sense of their style, try 'Enfant de l'homme' or 'Je veux savoir', they're both good examples of how the band worked.
They mixed samba and hip-hop in a way that felt specific to Rio, with DJ Hum on turntables early on. Songs like 'Enfant de l'homme' show that blend, and Marcelo D2's lyrics often tackled social issues, which stirred some debate at the time.
They formed in Rio in the early 1990s and put out their self-titled debut in 1998. Later albums like 'Cem Anos de Liberdade' and 'São Paulo Confessions' kept that samba-rap sound going into the 2000s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
