#1 - Free Style...Advertising!




In Realengo, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro

I love this dude! He is part street performer, part living advertisement. He works for the store to the right. What is he rapping about? Well, the current sale they're running on watches and glasses of course! Notice the wireless mic. Very useful for this type of performance. Notice his phone up to the mic. That's where the backing track is coming from. Now notice his technique for holding his phone and the mic with one hand, very cool indeed. That leaves his other hand free to pass out flyers. I imagine this isn't his first rodeo! This type of music they call ''Funk'', although it bears little resemblance to James Brown or the Meters.

Here I am, the only one on the street showing any interest!
