In this Feb. 3, 2012 photo, people dance at a funk "baile" in the Cantagalo slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Its market potential has become hard to ignore: A recent survey by the Brazilian think tank the Getulio Vargas Foundation found funk disc jockeys, MCs and others generate about $720 million a month in revenue.
