FORBIDDEN FUNK: RIGHT SIDE, WRONG LIFE
The project “Prohibited funk: right side, wrong life”, seeks to understand the musical culture of Comando Vermelho based on contact with MCs, DJs, teams and the public at dances at a time when the control of illicit substance trafficking is undergoing transformations in the favelas of Rio. Carioca music and funk dance are approached from the perspective of Pierre Schaeffer on listening, with references to cultural musicology, law, critical criminology and political history.
