Who are the most famous funk artists?

Funk is a musical genre that has its roots in the African-American communities of the 1960s, but which gained a totally unique interpretation in Brazil. In the country, funk has evolved into a variety of subgenres, such as carioca funk, funk ostentação and funk melody, each with its own idols and stars.

Artists like Anitta, who began his funk career before becoming an international star, and MC Kevinho, known for hits like 'Look at the Explosion', are two examples of artists who dominated the charts and gained worldwide fame.

Other important names include MC Livinho, known for mixing funk with R&B, and Ludmilla, who began his career as MC Beyonce and quickly became one of the most recognized voices in the genre.

In addition, emerging artists such as Kevin O Chris and MC Fioti continue to bring funk to new audiences, experimenting with new sounds and collaborating with artists from other genres.
