Blowing in like a whirlwind of bouncing bass, rapper Karol Conka is a global funk dynamo who blends club raps with the traditional rhythms of the Bahia region. On her acclaimed debut Batuk Freak, Conka samples choruses, pifano flutes and lo-fi drums to build DIY tracks dedicated to female empowerment. The blistering "Você Não Vai" shakes and rattles all over the dance floor, while the swaggering raps and snapping percussion of "Boa Noite" are bracketed by distorted chants and a deep, thunderous beat.
