All Artists are Anonymous, All Tracks are Untitled. Music compiled
on this CD was recorded live during the beginning of 2003 in
different favelas from Zona Sul, Rio De Janeiro.
PROIBID├O is the name given to a certain kind of electronic funk
music produced in Brazilian favelas, especially in Rio de Janeiro
where it started to appear in the beginning of the 90Æs as a parallel
phenomenon to the growth of drug gangs along the cityÆs more
than 600 slums.
A raw mix of live funk vocals and Miami bass structures, these
anonymous funk tracks are spread illegally by DJs and gang
sponsored parties. Proibidπo is a raw musical genre that captures
the dark side of Brazilian favelas.
The explicit lyrics of apology to drug gangs and the violent content
makes them illegal to broadcast through radio or as live public events.
Proibidπo can only be heard in the bailes or dances that the gangs
organize and that run every day of the week in different locations in
the slums around Rio.
The production of a Proibidπo occurs in different ways. A DJ spins
Miami bass rhythms straight from sample CDs, and an MC talks on
top of it, mainly live in street bailes and then recorded through a simple
multichannel to a minidisk or simply straight.
No mix is done and only sometimes an extra production is done.
The gang leaders, to spread the respect and love for the gang as well
as hate to the other gangs, finance the bailes and hire the DJs and
sound systems.
At most parties this is recorded live and spread then as an mp3 or
CD to different other DJs and bailes. Its life runs a minimum of 6
months and depending on itÆs popularity it can go on for more than
one year.
The selection featured on this CD compiles music recorded live
during the beginning of 2003 in different favelas from Zona Sul, South
Rio de Janeiro, a zone once controlled by the drug gang called
Comando Vermelho, mainly responsible for the cityÆs growing rates
of homicides and power corruption, as well as RioÆs and BrazilÆs growing
drug consumption.
C.V Comando Vermelho (Red Command) is a criminal organization that
was founded in 1979 in the prison CΓndido Mendes, on the island Ilha
Grande (RJ), as a connection of common prisoners and militants of the
Falange Vermelha (Red Phalanx), which fought the military dictatorship.
During the entire 1990's the criminal organization was the strongest in all
of Rio de Janeiro, but today the principal leaders have been arrested or
are dead, and the organization is not as strong. The Comando Vermelho
still control parts of the city and seeing streets tagged with "CV" is common
in many favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
All audio imperfections are left as they were when collected as these tracks
are the only remaining documents of this music.
Recorded and assembled by filmmaker Carlos Casas courtesy of some
anonymous MCs and DJs in different bailes along the favelas of Zona Sul,
Rio de Janeiro during March-April 2003.
