CRIMINALIZATION OF FUNK: WHY ARE HOBBIES FROM FAVELAS

CONSIDERED DISTURBING?

ISABELA LANA, 13 DE MAI DE 2021

TRADUZIDO POR MARLON C.SILVA, 23 DE MAI DE 2022

Recently, the 42 year old DJ Diplo was in an interview and talked

about how fascinated he was about funk carioca. In the news, a
sentence said by the DJ draws attention: “Music from Brasil has zero
rules, and I love it. It is a total chaos in the creation, and I am amazed
by it.'' said the DJ.

Like in 1942, when samba was considered a crime of vadiagem, Brasilian

funk nowadays is suffering the consequences of a social idealization that
appears in Diplo’s speech: the viewpoint of funk as disturbing and
 2

related to confusion. With this reinforced stereotype as a basis, the

legislative power has a history of creating law projects (PLs), that want to
make the funk movement and its cultural manifestations a crime.

“Authors and singers of any musical style that has derogatory or

offensive contents must be criminalized and punished by the
Judiciary Power. This proposition wants to reaffirm the maleficent
spirit of musical styles that encourage in any way the spread of
crimes or embarrassing situations (...)” Text from PL 5194/2019,
proposed by deputado Charlles Thomacelli Evangelista (PSL), removed
by the same author after some time.

After PL 5194/2019, the legislative idea 65.513/2017 received more than

40.000 favorable votes in a public consultation on the Senado Federal
site. The idea, suggested by the paulista entrepreneur Marcelo Alonso,
defends that bailes funks are “A recruitment strategy organized on
social media by criminals, rapists and pedophiliacs who are
interested in promoting crimes against children and minor
teenagers.” Alonso also said that bailes funk are “in favour of
consumption and market of drugs and alcohol, sexual exploration,
rape, kidnap, robberies, and riots, etc.” Even with the great number of
favorable votes, for the relief of funkeiros, the suggestion was rejected in
a parliamentary commission.

As a consequence of attempts of censorship, sometimes it’s impossible

for MCs to experience Funk as work and cultural expression. They end up
being held responsible for the crimes in communities, independently of
bailes. The complexity of working in an environment that is marked by
inequality and by the abandonment of the State makes artists the center
of a problem that is not only theirs. The doctor in communications Libny
Freire, who studies manifestations of Funk and Charme, the attacks
against the style (funk) have an elitist tone and represent a prejudiced
view that is associated with “good taste”. According to her, Funk is not
questioned only because of the content of its lyrics. “Prejudice has a
social class and an address: it’s the Favela.”
