The rapper’s performance featured a consistent danceable instrumental backdrop, over which he delivered freestyle verses. Accompanied by more than a dozen dancers, Brown described the atmosphere as a “political act” and a “proposal for the night.” The show, titled “The Boss’s Ball,” was part of the festival’s fourth edition held at Arena Heineken, commencing at 5:20 pm. Mano Brown’s setlist included “Gangsta Boogie,” “1 por amor 2 por dinheiro,” “Mente do vilão,” “Você me deve,” “Qual mentira vou acreditar,” “Mano na porta do bar,” “Diário de um detento,” “Tô ouvindo alguém me chamar,” “Eu sou 157,” and “Dance, dance, dance.” Several of these tracks featured guest appearances from Ice Blue.

He also performed “Louis Lane,” “Love Song (A verdadeira dor de um homem)” by Sabotage, “Coração” (Heart), “Flor do gueto” with Max de Castro, “Mulher Elétrica,” “O Céu é o Limite,” and “Cyber Criminosos” (a new Racionais MCs song). Additionally, he presented “Não Sei Pra Onde Vou” and “Im Noticiable” by Rincon Sapiêncía, and collaborated with Rael on “Wave (Citação A wave),” “Eu fico alto,” “Hip hop é legal,” and “Envolvidao.” Dexter’s “Sou Apenas Mais Um” was also part of the performance. Further in the show, Mano Brown sang “Jesus chorou,” “Amor distante,” and “Eu proponho a você.” He was joined by Edi Rock for “Vida loka (Part 1)” and “Negro drama.” Towards the end of his performance, Brown announced that a new album from Racionais MCs is forthcoming. The successor to their 2014 release, Cores e Valores, is slated for release in the second half of the current year. The show concluded with Racionais hits, including both parts of “Vida Loka” and the opening segment of “Capítulo 4, Versículo 3.” The audience responded by raising their hands at the artist’s request.
