at a glance | while săo paulo may be known as the brazilian mecca of all things house music, rio de janeiro's house music scene has also grown significantly in the last 30 years or so of its existence - there are various clubs that offer exclusive electronic music themed nights, and others that are entirely devoted to playing the genre. this genre's arrival in the marvelous city has meant it has inevitably been fused with brazilian samba, funk carioca, and other afro-brazilian-based rhythms, creating an exciting and uniquely brazilian sound - it is also the easiest dance music to combine with other genres to produce a new sound. | by night | |||
