Name: #Notevember 2018 - 19 - Rio Favela by Matheus Manente in #Notevember 2018

Description: Day 19 of #notevember 2018! Funk Carioca is a kind of electronic dance style which emerged from the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro. I subverted lyrics by Bezerra da Silva and gave it a try. It has a simple minor harmony and major melody - this kind of politonality became popular in the style.

This is my compilation of #Notevember compositions from 2018. The idea of #Notevember is to create one song per day throughout the entire November - a total of 30 songs in 30 days.
