History
Bonde do Tigrão were one of the groups that pushed funk carioca out of Rio's favela dances and onto national radio at the start of the 2000s. The group began in 1999 in Cidade de Deus, when two young MCs started performing together and soon added dancers, and the choreography became as much a part of the act as the songs. Their music runs on the classic baile funk engine: the pounding Miami bass-derived beat, the booming drum machine and short, shouted call-and-response hooks built for a crowd to sing back. Songs such as Cerol na Mão, Tchutchuca and O Baile Todo turned into nationwide hits, with playful, suggestive lyrics that drew both huge audiences and criticism. The self-titled debut album of 2001 sold in the hundreds of thousands in Brazil, and Pega o Bonde e Vem followed a year later, with Ressurreição arriving in 2005. They are often credited as forerunners of the dance-routine side of modern funk. A listener recognises Bonde do Tigrão by the relentless drum machine pulse, the chant-along choruses and the party energy of an early 2000s Rio baile.
