forget grime: this is favela funk
check out some of the current hot jams in brazil's emerging "baile funk" scene:
"Do Morro" translates to "of the hill", and has been ingrained in brazilian slang as reflection of the culture of the segregated favelas that have firmly rooted themselves in the hills of Rio De Janeiro...This archive is intended to share the hip hop beat produced in the hills of Rio, the favelas of Sao Paolo, and the streets of Salvador - funky do morro: the funk of the hill...Much of this music was found with independent sellers, and produced in garages, with not much international distribution. Many of the individual artists on the track may remain anonymous to global audiences... (from the Evil-Wire page, click for mp3s, as well as here). Gritty, catchy, scuzzy, techy, news to my ears.
