while the violence often associated with funk parties has essentially disappeared from the baile funks, one of the remaining points of attrition between law enforcement and funk parties organizers remains the extreme loudness of the music being played - this has become more of an issue since the pacification of the favelas, that while it increased safety in the areas, has also imposed some restrictions not always welcome by the residents.

funk carioca  is undoubtedly part of the party spirit of rio de janeiro, as the fan base grows and with increasing commercial success and a variety of places across the city where to enjoy this rhythm.

carioca performers are normally addressed as funkeiros - their names usually include mc, seeing as they are caricoa masters of cermonies, and their success depends, in part, of how good they can handle a crowd and get people moving to the beat.
