Brazilian hip hop emerged in the late 1980s out of Afro-Brazilian street-party culture and, despite being ignored or condemned by the mainstream entertainment media for most of its life, flexed its musical muscle to become the country’s most important and popular genre, giving voice to black and working class youth.
