The artist revisits the works of other composers for the first time in his career, incorporating new styles and expanding the narrative axis of rap
The title reveals the method. Drum, coffee plantation, rifle, and guarana are not parallel metaphors. They represent four axes for understanding the country: collective mobilization and ancestral heritage; production built upon exploitation; structural violence that never leaves the scene; and popular consumption manufactured by the culture industry. The rest, the "other Brazilianities," fall on the fringes.
It is from this concept that FBC presents the album “Tambores, Cafezais, Fuziz, Guaranás e Outras Brasilidades” (Drums, Coffee Plantations, Rifles, Guaraná Soda and Other Brazilian Scents), a musical project featuring Djonga and MC Taya . Available on all digital platforms via ONErpm, the album arrives on May 1st, Labor Day, a date dedicated to valuing the working class and the historical struggle for better working conditions.
Comprising 13 tracks that address Brazil as a conflict, not a backdrop, the project includes three re-recordings of songs by João Bosco — “Gênesis” ; “O Ronco da Cuíca” and “Tiro de Misericórdia” — integrated into the repertoire. It is the first time the artist has revisited works by other composers.
New sound amplifies the artist's message.
The work is organized into three acts and follows a character from birth to death. This arc functions as a mimesis of the Brazilian collective experience: an individual life traversed by the same forces that shape the country—ancestry, work, repression, and consumption.
The sound expands FBC 's language by incorporating rock and hardcore passages, but rap remains the narrative axis. It's not an aesthetic pivot, it's an amplifier of the discourse. Moments of hypnotic swing alternate with explosions of raw energy, without concession to formula.
FBC's trajectory is marked by the idea that rap is a political tool before it is entertainment. This album operates within that logic. It doesn't dilute its discourse to broaden its reach. It deepens identity and generates friction. In a scene that bets on universalization to grow, the path here is the opposite. The result is an album that refuses anesthesia. The tracks confront the listener with what insists on remaining.
