Monday, October 31st, 2011

While people in the Nothern hemisphere occupy stock exchanges to protest against the corrupt financial system, people of Rio De Janeiro celebrated yesterday in their downtown area the first ever Funk Parade. Unimaginable only a few years ago, the publicly still stigmatised genre showed it´s cutural muscle in the center of the city with a party at which the major baile funk sound systems from Furação 2000 to Big Mix, Cash Box to Curtisom and Pipo´s, plus all big name DJs and artists performed. More than 100.000 people came to dance in the area of Carioca subway station. This was a great day for funk culture.
