Zav was a musical collective from Rio de Janeiro that blended Brazilian folklore, samba, funk carioca, and rock. Their song "Intervenção" became known for its social commentary, addressing themes like police brutality and inequality.
In 2015, the group faced charges of inciting violence after performing "Intervenção" at a concert. Their albums include Zav (2013), Contramão (2016), and Cadafo (2019).
Core members included MC Chupeta on vocals, DJ Bola on beats, MC Jorge as rapper and producer, and Marcelinho BPM on drums. Their music often resonated with marginalized communities in Brazil.
