Riotous Brazilian MC and DJ three-piece Bonde Do Role play baile funk - a flippant, punked-up take on Miami bass developed in Rio's favelas - and yet aren't from Rio. A characteristic of baile funk is its playfulness and mash-up guerrilla-style sampling. Grunge, heavy metal, and cheese were added to the melting pot here. Their SXSW appearances were the talk of post-festival blogs, described in many instances as a "Brazilian Beastie Boys" with their explosive performances and filthy lyrics.

VINYL FORMAT. Southern Brazil's Bonde Do Role have created a mash up of Baile Funk beats and playfully profane raps in their native Portuguese tongue. Their dance party punk is the sound of 2007. "Bonde Do Role is like diggin' through the garbage in Brazil and using the pieces and making a club mess turned up the volume plus 10. It's like death samba metal bass with Cooledit Pro cause I already played out that 'novo' Beastie Boys thing" - Diplo. Look for them on tour in support of Diplo and at SXSW.
