Rapper Criolo at the Guardian

From the Guardian:

Since his album Nó na Orelha was released last April to rave reviews, an avalanche of awards has transformed a once-struggling ghetto MC into a modern-day bard for the megacity: Criolo recently played his first gig in New York and will tour Europe and the US later this year.
Caetano Veloso, the legendary Brazilian singer and composer, describes him as "possibly the most important figure on the Brazilian pop scene". "Criolo is a strong presence because he is original," he told the Guardian. "He is far more nuanced than a traditional rapper."
