Baile Funk's Evolution by SoundCloud Stories
published on
Born in the favelas of 1980s Rio de Janeiro, baile funk blends Brazilian samba with Miami bass, electro and hip-hop into a hard-hitting electronic beat, powered by soundsystems and MCs. In recent years, baile funk has spread to other Brazilian cities. In São Paulo, a new generation led by social media and SoundCloud has made harsher sounds called mandealo and bruxaria; in Rio, the US trap and drill influence is strong; regional sounds like brega funk, eletrofunk and mega funk have emerged, too. Dive into this collection of tracks — featuring Deekapz, MU540, Anitta, VHOOR, MC Kevin O Chris, Adame DJ and more — and discover more about this ever-changing genre.
