Ludmilla Video Essentials

Though the themes for funk carioca queen Ludmilla's music vids are diverse, it's the common thread of swaying dance routines that continues to spark imaginations. Take "Cheguei", filmed as a high-school throwback complete with jock/nerd stereotypes. Then there's modern funk staple "Hoje", featured on the soundtrack to hit telenovela Império, which shows Ludmilla and her all-girl troupe trying to create the perfect man in a laboratory.
