São Paulo Funk: An Introduction - Renata Prado

A founding member of the National Front of Women in Funk (FNMF) and a dancer and funk teacher, Renata Prado wears as many hats as she wants, especially if they're under the funk category. This multidisciplinary artist and intellectual is among a fierce generation of black and young people shaping the future of funk beyond the dancefloors and streets. For the NTS São Paulo Funk series, Renata has curated a special selection of baile funk tunes that tell the story of this music genre in São Paulo from the perspective of female artists. She adds a level of context to her selection with her voice and thoughts, creating a sort of funk sound piece that can be followed in English below.
