Danilo Albert Ambrosio (born 9 September 1985), better known by his artistic names Rincon Sapiência or Manicongo, is a Brazilian rapper and poet. He began his career in 2000, and gained success in 2009 with the single "Elegância".[1]
Rincon Sapiência began his career in 2000 as part of the band Munições da 38, where he performed under the names Rincon X and MC Shato.[2] Still, he worked as part of the groups Ébanos, 2º Assalto, Plano B, Equilíbrio Insano and Porte Verbal, performing with the latter in their album As Coisas Vão Melhorar..., released by Salmus Produções in 2003. In 2005, he became a member of the label Plano Áudio, made by rapper Kamau, and was part of the band Simples, during which he released his first solo song, "Aventureiro", that was included in the album Escuta Aí.[2] Beginning after that, he would perform shows throughout São Paulo state and other states.
Along with rapping, Rincon developed poetry workshops, hip hop events, and other social activities.[2] In 2005, he participated in the World Social Forum, where he rapped freestyle on an open mic and won the improvised championship that took place at the event.[3] He also took part in the group Audácia, which also included Cafuris, RG, Rocha, and Raphão. In 2009, he participated in the TV Cultura program Manos e Minas together with Projota and Rashid.[4] A month after, in July 2009, he released "Elegância", which was accompanied by a music video in March 2010 that was shown on MTV Brasil.[5] This single became part of his first promotional album, titled Promotrampo Volume 1.[2]
He was nominated for the 2010 MTV Video Music Brazil in the Rap category.[6] He took part in the NX Zero album Projeto Paralelo where he appeared on the track "Tarde Pra Desistir", one of four rare tracks.
In 2016, Rincon released his single, titled "Ponta de Lança - Verso Livre". Rincon also participated in Poetas no Topo 3.1 - Prólogo, a series of videos that brought together 38 MC's from 8 states.
His solo album Galanga Livre was honored as the best Brazilian album in 2017 by Rolling Stone Brasil.[7] With both Galanga Livre and Ponta de Lança, his works have appeared in academic works putting forth the possibilities of the dialogue of rap as Afro-Brazilian literature.[8] Blackness and the reeducation of ethnic-racial relations have been part of his musical career.[9]
In 2018, Rincon joined various legendary and respected rappers in the Brazilian rap scene, such as Emicida, Mano Brown, Rael, Djonga, and BK in the single O céu é o limite. Along with works with Drik Barbosa and Rubel, Rincon started an artistic partnership with IZA, including the single "Ginga"; and with Alice Caymmi on the track "Inimigos" on her album Alice. In 2019, he released his second studio album, titled Mundo Manicongo: Dramas, Danças e Afroreps, premiering the single Mundo Manicongo on the YouTube channel COLORS.[10]
