Funk carioca — also called baile funk — is a Rio de Janeiro genre shaped by hip hop, Miami bass and freestyle. In Brazil "baile funk" actually names the parties where it's played; the music itself is known simply as "funk," though it's very different from the American genre of the same name.
Rising from Rio's working-class neighborhoods to the rest of the country, it's represented here by its biggest global crossover, Anitta.
