Emerging South

City Queens throws fine parties in Ghent.  This time they go Rio de Janeiro. At least, that's what they pretend, the fact that none of the DJs has Brazilian roots is not exactly convincing.  A shame, with the mass of excellent Brazilian-rooted DJs in Brussels, Paris and London !  We'll check it out with some native cariocas and if there's no Carioca Funk on the party, we'll officially tag the organisation as 'faux pas' for abusing the name of our city.
PS the video is a -rather tacky- trailer from the excellent Movie Tropa de Elite on which I wrote previously.  The first track you hear on the party is called "Morro o Dendê" from MC Cidinho & MC Doca.  One of my favorite Carioca Funk tracks.  But not legally downloadable, the track is forbidden.  If you want the movie or the track: shout.
