Five A.m.: In the Sultry Depths of Rio De Janeiro?s Nova Holanda Shantytown?or Favela ?more Than 1,000 People Are Dancing in a Narrow Street. A Wall of Speakers Stacked 15 Feet High and 60 Feet Wide Sends a Dirty Electro Beat Shuddering Through the Ground. The Music of Choice in the Favelas is "rio Funk." A Hard-edged Dance Style of Screeching Raps and Booty-shaking Beats, It?s the Bastard Child of Miami Bass Music, which Arrived Here in the Mid-1980s and Went Native. Baile Funk Customizes Raw, Guttural Miami Rhythms with Percussive Loops of Samba Drums and a Lively and Unrelenting Brazilian Rapping Style. It?s Music Designed to Be Played as Loud as Possible Throughout the Sweltering Tropical Night. This Compilation features the Begginers A-z of Baile Funk, Courtesy of It?s Master DJ Marlboro. From the ?95 "rap Da Felicidade" to Today?s "new Funk". Enjoy!
