DJ Pernambuco

DJ Pernambuco came up in Recife, Brazil, working with the funk carioca sound that defines much of the city's music. His track 'Tchau, Bye Bye' with MC Gui Andrade got attention in 2017, and he's kept putting out singles like 'Opa, Opa' and 'Na Raba Toma Tapão (Remix Brega Funk)' with various MCs from the scene.

He's mostly known for these collaborations rather than working alone. The list of featured artists on his songs includes MC Gui Andrade, MC WM, Jerry Smith, MC Niack, MC CL, and others, suggesting he operates as a producer and DJ who brings different voices together on tracks.

There have been some rough patches mentioned around his career, including accusations about songwriting and personal issues, but the music keeps coming. He put out albums called 'Favela Vive 3' and 'Favela Vive 4' around the late 2010s, and songs like 'Te Amo Sua Linda' and 'Automaticamente 2' followed the same collaborative pattern.

What you hear in his catalog is that Recife funk sound, uptempo, percussive, built for dancing, with a rotating cast of MCs taking the mic. It's less about a solo artist's statement and more about keeping the party moving with whoever's in the booth that week.
