Editor's note

Valesca Popozuda, funk carioca's bold voice

A Rio-born singer whose solo tracks like 'Larguei Meu Marido' and 'Sou Dessas' define a raw, danceable sound.

For a quick sense of her style, 'Larguei Meu Marido' and 'Sou Dessas' do the job. They're blunt, rhythmic, and exactly what you'd expect from Rio's funk scene.

Valesca Popozuda's music is pure funk carioca, the street style from Rio that thrives on direct lyrics and beats you can move to. Songs like 'Sou Dessas' with Claudia Leitte and 'Festa Na Baru' capture that energy without apology. She's kept that sound alive through albums like 'Pode Chegar' and 'Eu Sou a Valesca,' even when her lyrics drew some criticism.

She started performing with Gaiola das Popozudas around 2008, then went solo with tracks featuring Mr. Catra on early material. Later albums and songs like 'Furacão 2000' from 2019 show her sticking to that funk carioca foundation.
