Funk carioca ([ˈfɐ̃k(i)ˌkɐɾiˈɔkɐ]), also known as favela funk, in other parts of the world as baile funk and Brazilian funk, or even simply funk, is a hip hop-influenced music genre from Rio de Janeiro, blending the rap subgenres of Miami bass and gangsta rap.[1][2] Despite its name, funk carioca has no musical correlation with the American funk by any means.[3]
In Brazil, "baile funk" refers not to the music, but to the actual parties or discotheques in which the music is played (Portuguese pronunciation:[ˈbajli], from baile, meaning "ball").[4] Although originated in Rio, "funk carioca" has become increasingly popular among working classes in other parts of Brazil. In the whole country, funk carioca is most often simply known as "funk", although it is very musically different from what with "funk music" is internationally meant.[5] In fact, it still shows its urban afro beat influences.
