my eyes popped last week when deize tigrona, one of the finest female funk carioca mcs, shimmied into view on the uk travel show ‘lonely planet six degrees’. the presenter travels to the city of god to meet dieze at her new home, accompanies her on a casting call for back-up dancers and then finally to a funk ball for a live performance of ‘injeceo’, complete with english subtitles. it’s a damn fine curio, if only for the 100% british commentary on the baile funk scene.
