A 7” weapon built for selectors with a soft spot for modern Brazilian funk and soul, *Pra Tocar No Baile* does exactly what the title promises—designed to play loud at the dance. Walmir’s silky vocal delivery glides over tight brass, slap bass and percussive flourishes that nod to both MPB traditions and American boogie influences.

The arrangement is crisp, with echoes of Tim Maia and Banda Black Rio, but updated with a slick, contemporary edge perfect for modern funk sets, tropical edits, or soulful transitions.

Backed with an instrumental or alternate mix (depending on pressing), this is a no-brainer for DJs who like their grooves deep, melodic and dripping with swing. Brazil’s baile funk legacy, reimagined with finesse.
