Funk (Rio) Style > Malandragem Carioca

The Funk Carioca  is a mix of  Freestyle,  Miami bass and Funk of James Brown and so.
it's lyrics is often about crime, sex and forbidden themes, but they have a lot of strong lyrics in pro of the dwellers of slums.

I'm Brazilian and i don't like so much of this, but i can't ignore it cause even here in São Paulo it's a fever.

This is a compilation of funks that made success in 2009



Some say  that M.I.A  made some songs inspired in this funk...
