I also added on the right column two players: The first one features a whole lotta baile funk and related tracks, and the second one some of my own remixes. Enjoy!

Gaiola das Popozudas

After the last video I though I’d write something about Gaiola das Popozudas, also since the next Funk Mundial release on man Recordings in gonna feature their hit ”Late Que Eu Tô Passando” with a hot electro house treatment by Austrian producers Makossa & Megablast. You can listen to the track at Man Recordings’ site. It out on 28.9. (and the vinyl 11.10.)


The original ”Late Que Eu Tô Passando” is actually some kind of a girl power manifest. (though also giving nice dancing instructions...) (and suggesting that men should go down on women and give’em some oral sex...)


Here’s some of the lyrics translated:

”Hey jerk! It’s different now, and the women are commanding. So go down on four and swing your tail. Give me your paw and put your little tong out. And BARK. Bark you dog! Bark, cause I’m passin by.”

Here's the group having a beach day last summer...

Sex, or some hints of it are pretty much present on every song. On their freshest one ”Agora Sou Piranha” Walesca sings how she ”goes to the baile without underwear”. So no wonder Gaiola das Popozudas is so popular is Rio.


In some of their shows (so I’ve heard), they also have as an highlight an ugly tiny male stripper that notoriously comes out with a huge inflatable penis. Only in Brazil...

Also in the beginning of the year there was a big fuzz about a porn video produced by “Brasileirinhas”. Gaiola das Popozudas was featuring on it, but would the girls actually gonna be acting on it? And they are; but they only perform their songs on it, not really fuck. Anyway the video is heavily marceted with the popularity and image of the Gaiola das Popozudas and the thing works vice versa for their popularity...


You can get the new song and other greats like ”Um Otário pra Bancar” and ”Olha Que Vacilão” from their brand new website: http://www.gaioladaspopozudas.com.br/ (baixar means download)

And there’s also some songs from Os Ousados, MC Tikão, Mc Kátia & Nem and Bonde Tesão. (though all are 128kps mp3s)

Gaiola Das Popozudas & Os Hawaianos on Youtube

Finally some video goodies!

Gaiola Das Popozudas must be the hottest girl group there is at the moment. It’s no wonder they’re a huge hit in Rio. This one at a party of Unidos do Morro at Baixada Santista shows the live show just like it normally is: Down right dirty, sexy and with bad sound quality. But just listen the people screaming when the lead singer Waleska shouts ”Who wants to have sex?!?”



But it’s not only gals that can do it - male groups are just as good and popular. Just check out Os Hawaianos doing one of their hit songs of 2006, Passinho do Bonequinho. And do the girls go wild in the audience!



I’ll keep these coming as soon as good ones come around. Also if you find or come across some really good clips on youtube or elsewhere, please send me the link so I can feature them on the blog.

Fairtilizer

After all the conversation that if I should post baile funk mp3s on this blog, here comes the solution!

Fairtilizer is a new internet music community that's bringing the freshest tunes out, a great way for artists and labels to promote themselves and of course a great way to discover new music from pretty much any genre or country. I was asked to do them a regular playlist of baile funk, and this is the first result. 14 songs for your listening pleasure as you browse through this blog. Enjoy!




At the moment the site is invitation only, but once it open up publicly for everyone, I'll write more about the whole thing. Meanwhile check out
