Singer performs this Friday (22) at the festival, which takes place at the Autódromo de Interlagos. In June last year, he was on g1 Listen live and talked about the work. Marcelo D2 takes samba show to Lollapalooza Rodrigo Ladeira/Disclosure Marcelo D2 made a name for himself in national rap with lyrics about police violence, marijuana, freedom of expression and also about love and family. With almost 30 years of career, he then decided to explore other sounds once and for all in “Iboru”, his ninth album, dedicated to samba. In June last year, during an interview with g1 Listened Live, D2 talked about making an entire album for the style. “It’s not news to anyone that I would make a samba album. But I’ve been looking for it for 30 years. It’s part of my maturation as a musician, as a man, as a father, as a husband,” he said. D2 presents the show of this work at Lollapalooza 2024, on Friday (22), at the Autódromo de Interlagos, in São Paulo. “I wanted to find my samba. I didn’t want to do Zeca Pagodinho’s samba, because Zeca’s samba is incredible. Just like I don’t want to do Jorge Ben’s samba-rock and Tim Maia’s sound, because they are incredible people .” Marcelo D2’s samba The style has always been present in D2’s work, whether with Planet Hemp, since the band’s first album, “Usuário”, from 1995, or in a solo career, in “À Procura da Beat Perfect”, from 2003. This approach also came through friendships, D2 had around him during his three decades of musical career names like Arlindo Cruz and Zeca Pagodinho. They, in fact, were inspirations for “Iboru”. Zeca Pagodinho welcomes samba rapper Marcelo D2 to the live recording of the show ‘Zeca Pagodinho 40 anos’ Will Aleixo / Disclosure “This is a music album by Marcelo D2, a samba by Marcelo D2. It has influences from Zeca Pagodinho, Arlindo Cruz, of Cacique de Ramos, which is as important a movement for Brazilian music as Bossa Nova and Tropicália were”, said the singer. “That’s a lot of my music, but there’s also a lot of New York rap,” he said. “This album is basically feijoada in a potato chip box.” TikTok Generation The work still has the intention, or rather, ambition: to reach the youngest group, the “TikTok generation”. “Samba is seen as our parents’ music, but we are also our parents,” said the singer. “My proposal in my sound of ‘Iboru’ is to bring contemporary music, which is rap and has been everywhere, into samba.” Marcelo D2 says he is feeling blessed with the new album “This will connect this new generation. It’s not a pretension, it’s an ambition, it’s a desire for this to happen. We have rich things in Brazil, entertainment and culture can walk together.” Connection with faith Another path that D2 explored in this work was religion. He had already addressed the subject in a critical tone in “Desabafo”, in 2008. Now, his view of faith is different. “I had an encounter with faith, which I already had inside me and I just recognized it. From the punk, more anarchist past, I ran away from religion because I thought it had to be inside the temple, not us. Then I discovered that it is within us .” Marcelo D2 on g1 Heard Fábio Tito / g1 “My mother was a person of great faith, she left church, went to Candomblé, and that touched me”, he said. “I’m a faith guy, and I just recognized that.” “Iboru” in Yoruba means, in free translation, “may our supplications be heard”. About two years ago, D2 started with Ifá, an African-based religion. “In Ifá, when we greet each other, when we meet, the first thing we say to our brother is ‘Iboru, Iboya, Ibosheshe’, which are the three women that Orunmilá meets on his path”, he said. Marcelo D2 says he waited 30 years for his samba album “Iboru” to come accompanied by a short film, scripted by D2 and co-directed by Luiza Machado. The initial idea is that this is the first work in a trilogy, with two other parts called “Iboya” and “Ibosheshe”. “I still don’t know if it’s a trilogy of albums or projects. I started to realize that the change from CD to streaming, we watch a lot of music today, music has a different role than when I started doing it” , he said. “And I’m pursuing those platforms too. I joke that I’m making music so I can make movies.” Marcelo D2: Five songs to understand his trajectory
