Funk Carioca
The community brings the bass; the night handles the rest.
Funk Carioca is a style from the The Party That Never Ends family. 130 BPM, Weirdness 24, Style Influence 92.
Relentless tamborzão and an unfiltered favela voice. Funk carioca, Rio's homegrown dance music, is raw, hypnotic, and the undisputed owner of the Rio night.

Sample excerpt
Subimos la loma con las bocinas prestadas, el baile empieza cuando llega la última. Nadie durmió, nadie tiene prisa, mañana es domingo y el domingo es de nosotros.
¡Olha, olha, que ya empezó! La favela entera con el mismo bajo. No vinimos a pedir permiso, vinimos a que retumbe hasta abajo.
Workshop note — Plural, presente, colectiva. El funk carioca se escribe con órdenes cortas y llamadas al público. A 130 BPM el patrón tamborzão deja el hueco en el contratiempo: ahí va la palabra.
