about

One of the most iconic pop songs to ever emerge from the German language sphere is undoubtedly Falco´s "Der Kommissar". Originally released in 1981, it was the ironic yet brazen Austrian take on then brand new New York rap music. Released only two years after the release of "Rappers Delight" by Sugar Hill Gang, "Der Kommissar" was an international sensation and a #1 chart hit in various European countries as well as a global club hit. For many teenagers during the 1980s, Falco showed that also white men can rap, even in German - probably the most difficult language for pop music.

"Der Kommissar" soon also reveberated in Brasil, particularly in the southern part of the giant South American country with its history of German migration. For Porto Alegre band Comunidade Nin-Jitsu, one of the most known rap-rock-funk groups in Brasil, "Der Kommissar" was a major influence in their prime years, so in 1998, they decided to release their take on the Austrian hit and recorded "Rap Do Trago (Vai Começar)" ("it´s about to begin"), a phonetic interpretation of "Der Kommissar" (actually meaning "The inspector" in German). The song is additionally called "Rap Do Trago" ("Rap about getting drunk") and celebrates the joys of cachaça drinking.

Man Recordings head honcho Daniel Haaksman played "Vai Começar" for many years as closing track in his sets, fast forward to 2024 and the Brasilian interpretation of the classic Austrian rap sees its re-releases on German label Man Recordings.
