Mr. Catra, one of the leading figures and one of the leading Baile Funk MC’s releases his first digital release “Baile Funk by Mr. Catra”.
Out of Brazilian shanty towns Baile Funk has by now reached global recognition and has been played by DJ’s worldwide. Booty Beats, bass, hip hop, samba and funk mingle with lyrics about life in the ghetto, gang bangs, military police, sex, crime and rock’n’roll. Baile Funk is the voice of the people, the voice of the Favela, describing crude reality with a sense of humor.
Mr. Catra, experienced and open-minded, makes this digital release now a special one. His straight forward Baile Funk release with bumping electronic beats makes a step further and hence got some top notch guests on board for the production, such Afrika Bambaataa, the godfather of hip hop(!), and DJ Sandrinho, the godfather of baile funk bootlegs! Feel Rio de Janeiro’s vibe and have a listen to “Sente a Vibe do Rio” feat Afrika Bambaataa & DJ Sandrinho.
