Baile Funk has been described (by those borrowing freely from KRS One) as the CNN of the favelas. Now carioca funk and it's culture are being profiled by CNN via a new film, Favela On Blast. Whether this means anything or not to your average funkeiro, it certainly sets a new bench mark for funk's world wide acceptance.
The film, directed by Leandro HBL and Wesley "Diplo" Pentz with production support from Philly's Mad Decent Crew, saw it's international debut this past month at the Rio International Film Festival.
