Strong influences on the '''[[music]] of [[Brazil]]''' come from many parts of the world, but there are very popular regional [[music]] styles influenced by [[Africa]]n and [[Europe]]an forms. After 500 years of history the Brazilian music developed some unique and original styles like [[choro]], [[música sertaneja|sertanejo]], [[brega]], [[forró]], [[frevo]], [[samba]], [[Bossa nova]], [[MPB]], [[Brazilian rock]], [[axé]] and others. Samba is no doubt the best known form of Brazilian music worldwide, though Bossa nova and other genres have also received much attention abroad. Brazil also has a growing community of modern/experimental composition, including [[electroacoustic music]]. All genres of Brazilian music formed a solid tradition. | Strong influences on the '''[[music]] of [[Brazil]]''' come from many parts of the world, but there are very popular regional [[music]] styles influenced by [[Africa]]n and [[Europe]]an forms.

'''Funk Carioca''', '''favela funk''' and, elsewhere in the world, '''baile funk''', is a type of dance music from [[Rio de Janeiro]], derived from [[Miami bass]]. In Rio de Janeiro it is most often simply known as '''funk''', although it is very different musically from what [[funk]] means in most other places. "Baile funk", in Rio, refers not to the music, but to the actual parties in which the music is played. [[MIA]] released the [[funk carioca]]-inspired co-composition "[[Bucky Done Gun]]" in July [[2005]]. | '''Funk Carioca''', '''favela funk''' and, elsewhere in the world, '''baile funk''', is a type of dance music from [[Rio de Janeiro]], derived from [[Miami bass]].
