♬ Among the various documentaries about Brazilian music icons that are part of the Rio 2026 Festival program, a fiction film stands out in the Première Brasil exhibition.

This is “Funk”, a film by Aly Muritiba starring Duda Santos, an actress known nationally in soap operas such as “Garota do moment” (2024 / 2025) and the current “A nobility of love” (2026).

In the feature film, which will have its first sessions in Brazil at the Rio Festival, tomorrow night, Saturday, October 3rd, Duda Santos is MC Sabrina, a young funk singer from Rio, daughter of a pioneering artist in the genre, MC Priscila, character of MC Nem.

Sabrina lives in conflict with her mother, with whom she lives in Morro dos Prazeres, a Rio community located in the Santa Teresa neighborhood.

With a cast that includes singers TZ da Coronel and Lellê, among other names, the film “Funk” premiered worldwide in June, as part of the Tribeca Film Festival program, held in Manhattan (New York), in the United States.

However, in Brazil, the premiere of Aly Muritiba's film will be appropriately at the Rio Festival, in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), birthplace of the funk style sung by MC Sabrina.
