Editor's note

MC Kekel, the São Paulo voice of baile funk

From Guaianases to national radio, his tracks about relationships and street life keep Brazilian parties moving.

If you want to hear Kekel at his most straightforward, try 'Não Era Pra Gostar' or the duet 'Sente a Conexão' with Pabllo Vittar. They both have that no-fuss energy he's carried since the beginning.

Kekel's music gives you the raw energy of São Paulo's baile funk scene without polish or pretense. Songs like 'Não Era Pra Gostar' and 'Taca Lhe Pau' work because they sound like someone talking plainly about what's happening around them. That directness has landed him on TV shows and kept his tracks in rotation at parties for years.

He came up through the local baile funk scene in Guaianases, where funk carioca's rhythms gave him a vocabulary. His 2012 debut 'Solteiro Nunca Mais' got Brazilian radio play, and later tracks like 'Amor de Verdade' with MC Rita kept that going. He's still recording and performing, with lyrics about relationships and street life that sometimes spark public debate.
