About this listen
In this episode, we dive into the chaotic heart of 1980s Brazil—when inflation exploded, drug wars raged, and samba went underground. Meet Bezerra da Silva, the last true sambista of the favelas. From sleeping rough in Rio to becoming the unlikely voice of a silenced generation, Bezerra didn’t just sing samba—he weaponized it. Discover how one man’s music told the raw truth about life in the hills, crime, police brutality, and resilience in a city at war with itself.
