Anitta’s ‘Baile Funk Experience’ Fulfills Its Promise With Sweltering U.S. Debut: Concert Review
Anitta's 'Baile Funk Experience' tour landed in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, bringing with it Brazil's sweaty favela funk dance parties.
After buzzing through “Funk Generation,” her dancers exited the stage for her to sweetly sing her pop songs “Girl From Rio,” “Mil Veces” and “Envolver” on a single stand-up mic with nothing but a DJ supporting her. The latter half of the show is dedicated to showcasing her early stints in funk carioca trap with songs like Tropkillaz’ “Bola Rebola” and “Vai Malandra,” inciting a dance battle and perpetuating the high energy stakes of the evening that Anitta so happily maintained. Anitta was ultra-punctual, starting her set at exactly 9 p.m. with a prompt cutoff at 10:20 p.m., but the spirit of the room was comparable to that of an underground warehouse rave at dawn: clammy fists pumping above people’s heads, while others chose to go face down, tails wagging in the air.
