In one of the most indepth and academic looks at a Genre yet, the cult lads Alex and Eugene take a look at Funk Carioca or Baile Funk from Brazil. A mammoth task as the music has existed since the early 90s consistently up till today and encompasses numerous sub-genres and evolutions. They are helped along the way by Brazilian scholar Carlos Palombini who is well regarded for his research into Funk Proibidao, and is currently applying Pierre Schaefer's concept of sonic morphology to the evolution of Funk Carioca Sound.
