Baile da gaiola is like no other music festival around, it lasts a whole week and this year it will take place from December 14th to the 20th.
in the streets of the Favela da Gaiola, one of the most impoverished areas of São Rodrigo.
Many things happen, but the place is a chance for young funk carioca singers to be known by the major gangs of the nation and pay for the production costs of their music and launch them towards notoriety, by sharing in their songs views such as crime apology, idolatry of gang leaders which will bring new recruits to the gangs.
It is known that the major three gangs spend millions of reais into promoting twerk competitions, even lgbt ones, stages and for the production and distribution of music.
Usual scenes from baile da gaiola are DJs as young as 10 being surrounded by rifles and guns while singing, shootouts, high amounts of drugs among others.
The last year the police shot 8 people many of them simply participants or bystanders, but 2 police agents were shot too.
With the globalization of Funk music, thousands of tourists are expected to come to the Baile da gaiola to experience the lack of social norms typical of their nation, the weakness of the rule of law and to take drugs.
7.000 citizens from the neighbor Kergstan have already come and one has already lost his life to an armed robbery.
Are some citizens of your country expected to come? What is the general view your nation holds about this event and will some news about it be aired? Is funk becoming popular in your nation too?
