Rádio Só Funk

Rádio Só Funk is a Brazilian internet radio station based in Porto Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, that seems to play a role in promoting Brazilian funk as a cultural movement. Como o nome sugere (“Só Funk” means “Only Funk”), the station’s programming is entirely dedicated to funk (specifically funk carioca, or Brazilian funk). The station features a musical style originating from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro state, and in Brazil, primarily linked to a young audience, it has become one of the biggest mass phenomena in the country. It seems to cater particularly to a younger audience, as funk (especially Brazilian funk) is “largely tied to the youth.” Rádio Só Funk serves as a key reference for funk music lovers, showcasing the most popular Brazilian artists in the funk scene.
