This episode is the story of how two Black musical styles in Brazil faced the exact same dilemma: dire repression and market integration, which would 'naturally' un-Black them. This is the history of Samba and Funk. It's also the second half of our two-parter on the topic. Your hosts are Julian Feeld and Caio Almendra.
