In this episode, we listen to the sounds of the favelas through a genre known as funk carioca (or Brazilian funk, favela funk, etc). It is a tenacious genre that began in the streets of Rio and ended up on the for you pages of Tik Tok despite attempts of destruction by the Brazilian elite. Definitely not a genre to miss!
