Before I flew out to Brazil I discovered a music documentary from the Mad decent camp called ‘favela on blast’. You guys need to watch this, from visiting the favelas last week its a really accurate account of the music and culture from the ghetto’s of Brazil.
The music has inspired a lot of todays music, its raw sound and the parties are mad fun. Take a listen to Black Eyed peas make it funky, you can hear a major influence with the beat and horns.
