Soul music dances gave rise to the Black Rio Movement after they became spaces for the political affirmation and resistance of the young black community in Rio de Janeiro in the 70’s. The film reveals just how important the music scene was in fighting for racial equality during Brazil’s military dictatorship and, subsequently, its influence on Hip Hop and Funk music; as well as the impact black pride had on newer generations and the aesthetical valorization disseminated throughout past decades.
