Rasteirinha (or Ragga funk) is a subgenre of funk carioca that takes large influence from samba and axé, and adopts Caribbean grooves derived from reggaeton and dancehall. Rasteirinha was born in the early 2010s in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and quickly popularized by some of its early hits, like MC Delano's "Na Ponta Ela Fica" and MC Romântico's "As Novinha Tão Sensacional". DJs like Mulú, DJ Comrade, Munchi and Buraka Som Sistema later spread it to the world. [1][2][3]
