Legendary Brazilian Funk Artists

Career artists whose catalogues defined eras of Brazilian funk and who still command the genre's largest audiences.

We treat 'legendary' as a measurable status rather than an opinion: artists here combine a sustained catalogue with a very large current audience, meaning their work still reaches millions of listeners every month.

Read the history guide for how these careers connect to the movements that produced them.
