Funk Mandelao

Funk Mandelao is a style of music that originated in the late 1970s in the city of Salvador, Brazil. It is a fusion of traditional Brazilian music, such as samba and bossa nova, with funk and soul music from the United States. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitar, synthesizers, and drum machines, as well as its upbeat, danceable rhythms. The lyrics often focus on themes of love, social justice, and political struggle.
