Facção Central is a Brazilian rap group.
It was formed in 1989 in São Paulo by Nego, Eduardo and Jurandir. Then Nego and Jurandir left the group and they were substituted by Dum Dum and Garga.
At the beginning of 1998 Garga left the band and Erick 12 became a new member, but nowadays he is just the group's music producer.
Eduardo (composer and performer) and Dum Dum (performer) were born and grew up in favelas in an environment where there was social violence, criminality, drug trafficking and vices. This violent past became an inspiration source to Eduardo's political lyrics.
