Who is Ludmilla?
Ludmilla started out making funk carioca in Rio de Janeiro and has since built one of the broadest catalogues in Brazilian popular music without losing that base. Her early breakthrough came from the Rio funk scene; "Cheguei" then carried her into mainstream pop, and "Din Din Din" and "Rainha da Favela" pulled the funk rhythm back to the centre of her sound. Since then she has moved between funk, pop, reggae-inflected records, samba and international collaborations — "Verdinha" and "Socadona" with Caribbean and Latin artists, features with acts from Nigeria to Argentina — while continuing to record with carioca producers. She is one of the few artists in this directory whose work spans both the baile and the arena, and she has been a prominent Black, openly LGBTQ+ figure in a genre whose stars are rarely given that platform. For listeners approaching Brazilian funk from pop, her discography is an unusually clear bridge: the production values are international, but the rhythmic DNA is Rio. Her Spotify profile below carries both sides, from favela funk singles to full pop and samba projects.
