History

Furthermore, Batalha do Neurônio is an independent cultural event created by rappers from Brasilia, and the purpose of the event is the periodic realization of freestyle gatherings, which consists of battles between rappers using themes provided by the audience. In May 2012, the first edition of Batalha do Neuronio was held at Praça Nelson Corso, in Vila Planalto, idealized by MC Zen and Emtee. MC Naui joined the organization shortly thereafter. Between May and December 2012, 8 editions were held there, all filmed by Vato Videos. After the first two editions of the Raciocínio RAPido event, a collective was formed to take care of the project, among which Biro Ribeiro and Nauí Paiva embraced the project and changed the name from Raciocínio RAPido to Batalha do Neuronio. After a six-month hiatus, the battle was held again in July 2013, at a new location, Taguaparque, in the park administration marquee. The battle takes place there to the present day on a monthly basis, usually on the last Saturday of the month.[6][7]
Currently, the main organizer and caretaker of Batalha do Neurônio is Biro Ribeiro. The event aims to help the Brasília community using art as a means of communication and social aggregation.[8]
Format
The purpose of the Batalha do Neurônio event was to become the first periodic knowledge based battle in Brasília. Knowledge battles differ from so-called blood battles. In the knowledge (battle model idealized in Rio de Janeiro by MC Marechal) the rapper rhymes about themes provided by the audience itself, taking into account topics that the spectators may suggest. The same audience also decides the battle's winner, analyzing the rappers' lyrical content and creativity, among other aspects, such as flow, resourcefulness, charisma, etc. In many battles there is also the presence of judges who also have the power to vote on the winner of the battle.[9]
