In 1997 the rap group Racionais MCs (the 'Rational' MCs) recorded
the album Sobrevivendo no Inferno (Surviving in Hell), subsequently
changing the hip-hop scene in Sao Paulo and firmly establishing
itself as the point of reference for youth across Brazil. In an era
when rappers needed to defend the very idea that their work was
indeed music and a time when neighborhoods such as Capao Redondo,
from where Racionais frontman Mano Brown hailed, often topped
homicide statistics, Sobrevivendo empowered as it provoked. As one
journalist noted, "the underworld of Sao Paulo's working-class
suburbs is dominated by cheap thrills and provides little space for
representation." Sobrevivendo changed all of that; a brutal but
invigorating imagination was born. The lure of Sobrevivendo is the
particular combination of word and sound that powerfully involves
listeners, especially those millions of young Brazilians who live
in the neighborhoods on the periphery of Brazil's megacities. This
book celebrates the 25-year anniversary of Sobrevivendo by
representing the album's power not only within the hip-hop
community but also in other cultural domains such as cinema and
literature. The author also provides his own narrative spins on the
sentiment of Sobrevivendo, thus making the book a creative mix of
cultural analysis and inspired testimony.
