What is Baile de Favela?

Every Brazilian summer hit leaves its mark – some likeΒ Ai Se Eu Te Pego even achieve worldwide success. For that reason, pretty much everybody that has ever listened to Brazilian funk would surely recognize the iconic song Baile de Favela. But what exactly is aΒ baile de favela? Do you know what the Baile de Favela lyrics mean in English? What does it mean when it’s used as an expression? Let’s find out!

‘Favela Funk Party’

Baile de favelaΒ β€” also often called baile funkΒ β€” refers to a dance party held in a slum (favela). The type of music usually played at that sort of party is funk, which is a big part of the culture in big cities in Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro and SΓ£o Paulo. At a baile de favelaΒ you can find lots of people partying hard, drinking, twerking and dancing passinho.

Now if you think it’s impossible to experience a baile de favela without actually being in aΒ favela, think again. In Rio, for example, theΒ Baile da Gaiola was held just outside a slum. And in other countries with big Brazilian communities,Β bailes funk are special events organized every few months that often feature touring MCs, DJs and artists from Brazil.

Ela veio quente, e hoje eu tΓ΄ fervendo
