FUNK.BR - SÃO PAULO - COMPILATION OUT NOW
OUT NOW: LISTEN/PRE-ORDER VINYL VIA ORCD.CO/NTS-FUNKBR
NTS presents funkBR - São Paulo, an exploration into the magical and menacing world of the Brazilian city’s current baile funk sounds.
São Paulo has built up a reputation for its confrontational funk output over the past decade, underlined by the emergence of mandelão sound. This riotous strain of baile funk is tailor-made for the favela parties - bailes, or fluxos - of the Brazilian megalopolis. Played across the bailes do Helipa, Bega, Marcone and Casinhas, mandelão now spans a wide range of sub-genres; from hypnotic ritmado to brutal bruxaria.
This 22-track collection of previously unreleased songs finds starlet producers alongside scene stalwarts and national icons. It all serves to provide a vital snapshot of this sensational city’s musical magic.
Earlier this month, we hosted a release launch with Ritmo dos Fluxos on the streets of Heliópolis in São Paulo, featuring many of the compilation contributors. This Saturday (30 March) some of these artists again appear, alongside some local talent, for our event at London's Phonox.
Download the full compilation via Bandcamp, or pre-order the vinyl release, shipping in June 2024. You can also pre-order the vinyl from the NTS store, alongside an exclusive funkBR short sleeve tee...
