The article examines a youth association called galera" which emerges in the "carioca" suburbs. "Galeras" relate to "funk" although they are not quite the same. The expression designates groups of urban periphery youth with some internal organization. structured around their residential areas from which they get their names. Youth movements are heterogeneous and this is where the "galeras" that are studied appear. The article also indicates that these groups are fragmented and divided.
