Ranked No. 3 in Baile Funk
Marlboro is the producer who turned the bailes into a recorded genre, and this is close to the beginning. Everything is the drum machine and the shouting.
Picked by Miami
Miami bass arriving in Rio on cassette, which is a fact this site already publishes as a lineage arrow. Marlboro looped somebody else's drum programming and a national music came out of it — the same 808, the same shouting, a different language.
