Violin Baile w/ Vinnau

A selection of Baile Funk tracks that use violin, piano and choirs as samples for groundbreaking Brazilian dance music. From São Paulo's Bruxaria & Belo Horizonte's dark baile to Eletrofunk, Brega Funk and other related genres, Brazilian producers have been playing with classical instruments, vocals and excerpts to create eerie atmospheres that serve as a base for complex rhythms and drum patterns. These tracks turn out to be an unlikely and unique meeting of what is taken as deeply high art with the most popular genres produced in Brazil today, usually dismissed as degenerate music made in favelas all over the country.
