Short Step

Afro Brazilian musical culture, as most of us know around the world, is represented by samba and other stylized forms like bossa-nova. Contrary to the USA's African American culture, the Afro Brazilian culture has suffered a great deal with third world economical resources and the poor geo-political environment. Afro Brazilian youth has an amazing uphill struggle to develop their music under a climate of extreme violence with a lack of musical instruments, studio resources and musical education. Rio Funk or Funk Carioca is the greatest expression of this reality, loved by many and hated by equal amounts, it is something that divides the nation and brings together several different social classes, doing their erotic dances, singing gang war chants and many pornographic lyrics. Short Step is an experiment into this musical style produced by Nanogiants and released by Quantitum Records.
