기사 요약: 최근 K팝 시장에서는 브라질 리듬을 앞세운 곡들이 잇따라 등장하고 있다. 그 중심에는 강렬한 타악기 사운드와 분당 120~150회의 빠른 박자가 특징인 ‘브라질 펑크’가 있다.
[1] Brazilian funk is gaining a stronger presence in K-pop, with some of the industry's leading acts turning to the hard-hitting rhythms born in South America.
gain: 얻다, 획득하다
presence: 존재
leading: 리드하고 있는, 선두의
hard-hitting: 강렬하고 타격감 있는
[2] But Brazilian funk — sometimes introduced in K-pop through the closely related term favela funk — is hardly new to the industry. NewJeans' 2023 hit "ETA," for instance, incorporated favela funk into a track produced by 250. The song became a global hit, reaching No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100.
funk: 강한 피트의 음악 장르, 펑크
hardly: 거의 ~않다
incorporate: (일부로) 포함하다
produce: (창작 활동을) 제작, 창작했다
[3] Other major K-pop acts were exploring the sound around the same period. Tomorrow X Together teamed up with Brazilian pop star Anitta and production duo Tropkillaz for "Back for More" in September 2023, while Aespa released a Brazilian funk-infused Tropkillaz remix of "Better Things" that same month.
major: 주요한
act: 가수, 아티스트
explore: 탐험하다, 살피다
team up with: ~와 협동하다
[4] Three factors help explain its appeal. The first is musical compatibility. Brazilian funk's forceful percussion, repetitive rhythms and explosive peaks fit naturally with K-pop's performance-heavy format, particularly for acts built around powerful choreography and visual identities.
appeal: 매력
compatibility: 양립[공존] 가능성
forceful: 힘이나 에너지가 가득한
explosive: 폭발적인
