MTV ao Vivo: Planet Hemp

An overview on Brazilian hip hop through interviews with some of its most important artists.

Mauro Mateus dos Santos was known by another name: Sabotage. Growing up amidst poverty in São Paulo, the musician, who became a legend after his death, is one of the most important names in national rap.

Some people seem to have come into the world to confuse, annoy, swim against the current, like the guys from Gangrena Gasosa, the first and only Sarava Metal band of the universe. "Desagradável" covers all the 23 years of the band. A special reunion of people that stirred the underground scene of 90's until today. All the legends detailed in a film that will show the most shameful chapters in history of Brazilian Rock. Jello Biafra, Jão and João Gordo, BNegão, Marcelo D2, Anjo Caldas, Dado Villa-Lobos, Rafael Ramos, Fabio from Garage, Marcos Bragatto, Tom Leão, Pedro Só, Adilson Pereira, Larry Antha and the former members (more than 15!) recalls the regrettable moments that Sarava Metal happened in their lives. Archive images, photos and videos to prove, once for all, that "Home Saint makes miracles too".

"Eu sou O Rio", debut album by the band Black Future, appeared on all lists of the best releases of the year it was released, in 1988. A critical success, the band presented a sound that mixed post-punk with "malandragem carioca", but almost no one heard it. To date, there has never been a reissue and is not even available on streaming services. With interviews carried out in celebration of the twenty years since the release of this obscure success, its former members and people close to them break down the history of the band and the album.
