Latest Queer Music from Brazil
Brazilian queer music is stronger and vaster than ever before! Young artists have developped their potentials and more artists are coming up all the time standing up for the right to be authentic and encouring others to also do so. In that way the musical forms of expression are very diverse. Here I can only present some of them to you, so don't miss to have a look at all of these examples and feel free to have a look ath their official homepages, soundcloud pages etc.
MC Linn da Quebrada
With this brandnew video from May 2016 MC Linn da Quebrada is about to 'enviadescer' ('ingay') the funk carioca genre. The main target of her colourful attack is the phallocentric society. "I'm not interested in your big, erect dick. I actually like the gay ones which are effeminate." In additon to that she speaks openly against machist standards in society and discrimination of trans people.
