SLUM DUNK PRESENTS FUNK CARIOCA...

Funk Carioca (Rio funk) is the product of Brazil's favelas parties and fuels the night-long bailes that form the nocturnal soundtrack of Rio's hills. Funk Carioca combines street smarts with popping dirty electro beats and the intensity of DIY techno topped with some crude lyrical rhymes resulting in an irresistible cocktail that grabs you by the hips and never lets go. This is a new unique sound direct from Rio, however Mr Bongo’s classic FOLLOW ME FOLLOW ME track by Tejo, Black Alien and Speed (recently used on the Nissan marathon advert) was a forerunner to the introduction of this genre.
