00:00I like to show my body.
00:02Since always.
00:03Why can't it be good?
00:05You know, people always put down the women who like to be free,
00:10but if it was a man doing it,
00:12oh no, cute.
00:14And then it's a woman,
00:16oh, she's doing this just to have controversy,
00:19numbers and such and such.
00:21She's not so artistic, she's not so talented, she's not so...
00:24And I don't think so.
00:26It's my personality to be like that.
00:29The personality of the other person is not to be like that.
00:33And nothing changes.
00:35Hello everyone, I am Anita.
00:37I want to send kisses and greetings to all the people of Brut.
01:00It's not the song and the music that change the behavior
01:06and the reality of life in the favela.
01:09It's the life in the favela and the reality
01:13that changes the lyrics and the compositions.
01:16So, because the government for a while wanted to criminalize funk.
01:22No, people sing what you live.
01:25So, if the government puts in these places
01:29culture, access to information,
01:33study, all this,
01:36of course the lyrics are going to change.
01:39Because we sing what we see.
01:41If we wake up, we see guns, drugs, sex,
01:45and nothing else.
01:49What are we going to sing about, love?
01:51I love all kinds of music.
01:53But the door that opened for me was funk.
01:58I started in the favelas, in the bailefunks,
02:00in the street parties in the favela.
02:02These parties that today people are already killing everyone.
02:07And there I think, look, if it were 10 years ago,
02:12I would also be dead with my mother and my brother
02:16and we were not doing anything wrong.
02:18We were singing.
02:19That's why I care so much about taking the rhythm out
02:24and having respect.
02:26So that the people here in Brazil themselves
02:29understand that it is art, it is very well done.
02:33This makes anyone who listens to it move and like it.
02:37I don't do it for controversy or to achieve numbers.
02:41I think it's a personal thing.
02:43For example, RosalÃa dances it a lot,
02:45but she doesn't like to show her body so much.
02:48You don't see her showing her body so much.
02:50But the type of dance she does is not as down here,
02:56twerking, ass, as in Brazilian culture.
03:00Here, I was born like this.
03:03If she doesn't like it, and it's amazing,
03:07beautiful, I love it, I'm a fan.
03:09But if I like it, why can't it be good?
03:14Sometimes I keep doing it just so that people understand
03:19and stop saying this.
03:22So that people stop measuring the quality of your work
03:29by how much you show your body or not.
03:32The funk dance.
03:34What three things would you tell me to dance it well?
03:37What do I have to do?
03:39If you tell me how I do that and you show me,
03:42well, I'll show you.
03:44I'll teach you.
03:46What happens is that people are always looking at the ass
03:51because that's what draws attention.
03:53But what I'm really moving are the knees.
03:58If I'm here, you think I'm just moving my ass.
04:03You see that I'm with my knees.
04:05And there are many other movements.
04:09But I think the best tip to learn is to let go.
04:16And be in the mirror.
04:18That's how I learned.
04:19In the mirror, dancing freely.
04:22So I think practice and doing it without judging yourself
04:27or with fear of judgment.
04:29So funk can't have this.
04:31It has to be played.
