Phonk brasileiro is a dark, experimental music genre that emerged in Brazil in the mid-2010s, blending elements of phonk, trap, and Brazilian funk. Characterized by its heavy, distorted basslines, eerie synths, and often, auto-tuned vocals, phonk brasileiro creates a haunting, atmospheric sound. Born out of the country's underground music scene, the genre gained popularity among Brazilian youth, particularly in the favelas, as a means of expression and social commentary. Phonk brasileiro draws from African-American musical influences, such as Southern hip-hop and Memphis rap, while incorporating Brazilian rhythms and slang. This genre's unique blend of global and local elements sets it apart from other phonk styles, offering a fresh, gritty perspective on the urban Brazilian experience.
