I'll keep posting in english on this topic, thank you.

Haha, oquei!

Ah, o Steve respondeu minha PM. Ele disse que não tem problema, pode escrever em português aqui. Deve-se apenas respeitar as regras gerais de conduta do fórum (não ofender outros usuários, etc).

P.S.: eu não quero forçar ninguém a escrever em português, não! Só achei estranho, pois no OT de outros países, a galera escreve no idioma nativo.

 

[Maedhros]

Maybe its a demographics type thing? Isn't the music associated with demographics many Brazilian Gaffers aren't a part of? Hip-Hop was widely considered garbage by most Americans and a love it or hate it thing until the past six years or so. Maybe this is something similar.

Personally, I think it's crap music. The rithm, the lyrics... there's nothing good there.

Them lazy people! /s

But so... which language will ye use to write here?

The rithm, the lyrics... there's nothing good there.

Indeed. I understand people who likes a genre - say, sertanejo universitário - only due to the rhythm (there's some great musicians there for the cash, after all). Everyone who is at least an amateur musician might feel the same.
But funk carioca is certainly one genre where that "explanation" won't work on me. I just don't get it. It's just noise.

And of course, I will refrain myself from commenting on the lyrics.

Yeah. I can understand people liking sertanejo, or MPB, or even axé, but funk is beyond my comprehension.
I feel that every funk is the same. Same noisy beat, same song progression, same awful kind of lyrics.

 

[DD]

So I've been listening to some funk carioca (or similar music) and really enjoy the music. Any recommendations? Is this music still really popular in Brasil?

One more thing, why are all the other CountryGAF threads on Off-Topic Community and only this one is on regular off-topic?

Are you talking about funk carioca here or funk in general?

Because Funk is fuckin awesome.

I don't even know why funk carioca has the word funk in it though. It doesn't sound like it at all.

The only type of funk I know is the one that the assholes put on their cars loud as hell so that everyone in a 2 km radius can hear their music, or the guy how used to play funk on the bus in their cellphones. The kind of funk that says "Empina empina empina empina empina empina empina empina empina".

So that kind of funk.

There's some truth about what you are saying, funk was born in the favelas as far as I know, is very popular music specially for lower classes, some might not want to be associated with that.

But I do have to agree with the guys here though, it's absolutely terrible music, hip-hop at least has sometimes interesting lyrics, funk is the lowest common denominator in music, meant to be blatantly sexual and with little to no actual composition behind it. I can't think of an equivalent in english... imagine a song whose only lyrics are "rub your ass on the floor", and with just one single rhythm, repeated over and over again, that is funk, and I'm not exaggerating in any way.

Oh and yeah what people in the US know as "funk" has nothing to do with carioca funk, which is so popular people here don't think about the other funk when someone talks about it.

Nesse caso eu abro uma exceção

funk is the lowest common denominator in music, meant to be blatantly sexual and with little to no actual composition behind it.

That's basically it. The funk carioca that got popular years ago was nothing but dirty crap to play in night clubs so people can get in the mood to do some crazy shit. Same thing happens now sertanejo universitário, but with less depravity. It's always a song about a rich guy with an expensive car that gets all the women and blah blah blah.

 

[maouvin]

I don't even know why funk carioca has the word funk in it though. It doesn't sound like it at all.

Pt-br wikipedia says that the genre was "created" by DJs that brought and held black music (like soul and funk) parties, and the name "funk" just happened to stick to the new thing.

It's so dumb of an explanation that I believe this to be true.

A classmate of mine insisted in using that word, because it sounded so "exotic" yet had a pretty... amusing meaning.

I'm also new here, and brazillian, yes. And I meant to ask what is the difference between standard Off-Topic and Off-Topic Community (as well as Gaming and Gaming Community). It seems the "community" forums operate with more permanent threads, but I couldn't find a proper explanation anywhere.

Eu enviei sua pergunta para o Mutes (um dos moderadores), e pedi para que ele movesse o tópico. Quanto à sua pergunta, seu raciocínio está correto. A aba de comunidades contém os tópico oficiais para se discutir determinados assuntos. Na parte de comunidade de jogos, temos um tópico oficial para cada jogo. Isso evita que vários tópicos sejam criados para discutir a mesma coisa. É útil para a organização do fórum.

Ah, e pode escrever em português (só neste tópico!), se preferir.

 

[LuuKyK]

I come back to this thread and people are talking in portuguese and posting funk carioca? Really? I am disappointed.

Obviously joking - about the portuguese use at least - na verdade acho até legal usar português aqui no GAF, parece que não é o mesmo lugar haha

Muito bom! a verdade minha dificuldade e a mistura de espanhol e português na minha cabeça, na escrita são muito parecidos, o problema e falar!

Ainda assim, minha gramatica e horrorosa, e na fala os cariocas são muito ruins (moro no Rio), escrever no português e uma boa pratica para mim.

Yes, I think that's part of it. We sure aren't the demographics for this kind of music. I, personally, hate it too. But, I can understand if people like it,what really annoys me are "funkeiros" with their loud as hell cars and cellphones in the middle of the day.

I am doing a 6 month south america tour and will be hitting Brazil in Feb. Just got my visa approved yesterday. Kinda stressful without a return ticket but they said it would be approved based on my other credentials.

Any tips for Carnival season? Going to start planning and booking hotels now. Any must see places around Brazil?

We are doing a lot of hiking and camping. So anything of that nature would be fun. Any must see cities or sights as well. We are planning on doing 20-30 days in Brazil but also don't want to break the bank as I hear it can be expensive!

Hmm, it seems you're a nature's guy. Well, during carnival this country gets wild, crowded beaches, bad and noisy music...

I hate it.

If you want to avoid all that, you should stay away from the beaches. Maybe you should go to the countryside. I don't know much about the countryside because I live on a beach, but here in my state (Espírito Santo) I'd recomend the cities of Domingos Martins, specialy the district of Pedra Azul, where you'll find the Pedra Azul State Park. You'll find some great trails there. Another place i'd recomend is the Pico da Bandeira, with trails too.

Maybe someone else can recomend other destinies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9DASTz8EYw

I don't mind if someone is listening funk with headphones and not bothering anyone, but the moment they are playing this shit at 2 am in their cars near my house I will be mad very mad. Past Christmas we had a serious discussion with one of the neighbors near my house because they want to party all the dawn and thought it could be a smart idea to park their car in front of our house and turn the car sound loud, we asked them to move the car and lower the sound and we were called "barraqueiros". My father was so mad that you could see the will to crush the guys head in the sidewalk. Fuck the Z/L.

Ouro Preto have their own Carnaval, so it gets a little crowded. But it's a beautiful city. if they manage to go before cranaval starts.

Also, to the guy who asked how I did at ENEM, 121/180 (Right answers/total questions) .

 

[Darren870]

I'll look into them! Thanks! Going to take a lot of buses so I assume it wont be a problem. If its to crazy during Carnaval season then we will go a bit earlier and hit the beginning of it. We don't want to spend all our money at once!

Right now it looks like we will be coming in from Boliva so Mato Grasso would be the first stop.

Bonito is in Mato Grosso do Sul (state right next to Mato Grosso). Its one of the prettiest natural cities we have here. You should look into it. Never visited myself, but I know a lot of people who did and they loved it.

You obviously should not miss Cataratas do Iguaçu either, if you are into natural wonders/sights. But thats in the Paraná state, in the south of the country (kinda far if you are going in through Mato Grosso, but still worth it). Its jaw-dropping.

Community is not as visited as off topic, so the thread is probably going to slow down even further now. We will see though, by having fewer visitors here maybe there is a bigger chance of it staying on front page.

Edit: beaten.

 

[Ezalc]

Não entendi qual é a relação de uma coisa com a outra. :/

The thread already has long periods of inactivity even when it was in the part of the forum that has a lot of users looking at it, Off-Topic. Off-Topic Community has significantly less people just randomly browsing it, so a slow thread will get even slower and it'll have less people just popping in to ask questions since the person won't go to OTC (Off Topic Community) to look for the thread.

Thanks for killing the thread Metra!

I'm just kidding.

Ah, vocês estão dizendo que no OT teria mais visibilidade. Bom, não tenho argumentos para refutar ou concordar. Por um lado, a aba do OT é a padrão e, teoricamente, mais pessoas veriam o tópico. Por outro lado, a aba do OT é para notícias e, portanto, tem uma rotatividade de tópicos muito grande; ou seja, este tópico (BrazilGAF) seria facilmente jogado para a segunda, ou terceira página.

Além disso, a aba community existe por um motivo. É lá que ficam, ou deveriam ficar, todos os tópicos "oficiais" (inclusive, o BrazilGAF OT). Imagine se todos usassem este argumento, de "visibilidade", para que seus tópicos OT ficassem na aba padrão? Ia ser um confusão generalizada. O que vale para um, deveria valer para todos. Mas isso contraria o nosso "jeitinho brasileiro", né?

Mas... é apenas minha opinião.
