Funky Favelas

 

Brazilian Funk has been around for over 30 years. Originally called Carioca Funk, this musical style has a remarkably rich history in which it was influenced by music from elsewhere to create a new genre that is entirely Brazilian and entirely original.

​

Today, Funk is so popular among Brazilian youth that it has become one of the main modes of expression, and the number of followers of this movement is constantly growing.

​

Signed by director and producer Orlando Arriagada, the Paths of Funk documentary explores the evolution of Brazilian Funk since the 1980s, at a time when its influence could be felt on a global scale.
