	'''Funk ~~carioca~~''', ~~also~~ called '''baile funk''' ~~and often simply~~ '''funk''' ~~in Brazil, is an electronic music and dance culture formed in [[Music of Greater Rio\|Rio de Janeiro]]'s Black suburban and favela party circuits~~. ~~Its contemporary world~~ includes ~~MC songs, DJ montagens, dance practices, sound systems, videos, independent studios~~ and ~~substantial recording businesses~~.

The broad label includes '''funk carioca''' and independently developing regional forms; it does not require every Brazilian scene to use Rio’s name. The qualifier identifies musical lineage, not a performer’s nationality. The distinct US-origin tradition associated with James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic is [[Funk (USA)]].

	This article ~~uses the existing MuGlobe category to introduce~~ that wider family while ~~distinguishing~~ its regional branches. ''Funk paulista'' is not a claim that São Paulo reproduces Rio unchanged. Nor is Brazilian funk interchangeable with ~~North American~~ [[Funk~~\|funk~~]], every Brazilian [[Hip-hop\|rap]] recording, or everything distributed internationally under the label ''Brazilian phonk''. Its identity lies partly in how communities adapt beats, voices and performance to different places. The account of new releases and activity below is dated '''18 October 2026'''; future announced projects are identified as such.		Brazilian funk is an electronic music and dance culture formed in [[Music of Greater Rio\|Rio de Janeiro]]'s Black suburban and favela party circuits. Its contemporary world includes MC songs, DJ montagens, dance practices, sound systems, videos, independent studios and substantial recording businesses. The term funk carioca retains Rio's history, while Brazilian funk now has independently creative metropolitan scenes, especially in [[Music of Greater São Paulo\|São Paulo]] and Belo Horizonte. A melodic multi-MC recording, an abrasive mandelão production and a rapidly chopped Rio baile performance can belong to this family without sounding interchangeable. <ref name="funk-mar">[https://museudeartedorio.org.br/programacao/funk-um-grito-de-ousadia-e-liberdade/ FUNK: Um grito de ousadia e liberdade — Museu de Arte do Rio].

			This article introduces that wider Brazilian family while retaining the names and histories of its regional branches. ''Funk paulista'' is not a claim that São Paulo reproduces Rio unchanged. Nor is Brazilian funk interchangeable with [[Funk (USA)]], every Brazilian [[Hip-hop\|rap]] recording, or everything distributed internationally under the label ''Brazilian phonk''. Its identity lies partly in how communities adapt beats, voices and performance to different places. The account of new releases and activity below is dated '''18 October 2026'''; future announced projects are identified as such.

			The broader name also leaves room for changing production vocabularies. NTS’s São Paulo compilation documents mandelão, ritmado and bruxaria within the city’s baile culture; its track names also use montagem, automotivo, MTG and phonk. These words are contextual clues rather than interchangeable genre definitions. A recording’s credits, release context and arrangement still matter when distinguishing Brazilian funk, US-lineage funk, adjacent styles and actual crossovers.<ref name="funk-nts-sp">[https://www.nts.live/incoming/funkbr FUNK.BR – São Paulo], NTS, 29 March 2024.</ref>

	The word ''funk'' arrived through musical and social histories that precede today's Brazilian beat patterns. Rio's Black parties and sound teams created settings for dancing, affiliation and public presence around soul and other African American music. Later electronic imports, including electro and Miami bass, became resources for a different local formation. In a 2001 interview, DJ Marlboro described the change from imported dance records to Portuguese-language recordings and recalled the 1989 ''Funk Brasil'' compilation as a crucial step in creating locally identifiable performers. His testimony is an account from a participant, not a reason to erase the many DJs, dancers, MCs and audiences involved. <ref name="funk-marlboro2001">[https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/folhatee/fm2602200103.htm Veteranos revelam história do funk carioca — Folha de S.Paulo, 26 February 2001].

	The transformation was more substantial than translating foreign lyrics. Selection, sonic equipment, crowd response and the production of locally meaningful refrains changed the music's function and identity. A familiar imported backing could become the setting for a new shared expression. As locally made recordings and recognizable MCs circulated, the baile became both a social space and a source of repertoire for radio and records. The name survived while the musical language continued to change. This is why deriving Brazilian funk directly from the instrumental sound of James Brown or Parliament gives a misleading picture of what a contemporary listener encounters.
