Intro

FunkCarioca

Brazilian rap style that combines musical elements of 1980s Miami bass with the explicit lyrical tropes of gangsta rap. Like Miami bass, beats are typically spare and often feature 80s-style drum machines and synthesizers. Clave rhythms are often prominent in the percussion of more recent recordings. Emerged in the mid-1980s in Rio de Janeiro.
