Melodic funk (also known as funk melody) is a fusion genre of funk carioca and Latin freestyle.[1]

History

DJ Marlboro's radio show "Big Mix", broadcast since the 80s, has popularised a soft version of the underground funk carioca songs. These soft versions formed a romantic subgenre called melodic funk in Brazil, adding melodies and arrangements to the raw, beat-y funk tunes.
