A fearless blender of brega, funk and pop, MC Zaquin is in the vanguard of a generation of Brazilian innovators. He has racked up a number of hits in his homeland—“Não Nasceu pra Namorar”, “Eu Catuquei” and “Ô Moça”—as he draws effervescent energy from his willingness to mix up diffuse sounds. Early in his career, when he was still essentially finding his way in the music world, he refused to bow to traditional genre boundaries. Now, he pushes funk further than ever.
