This looks great! Recorded between 2006 and 2009, this documentary by directors Vladimir Cunha and Gustavo Godinho looks at the tecnobrega scene in Belém, Pará. Tecnobrega is defined in the film blurb as the digital adaption of romantic music from the 70s and 80s. The focus of the film is the relation of tecnobrega to the new business model of selling and distributing music that this unlikely genre seems to be pioneering.

The documentary features the tecnobrega MC, Marcos Maderito, the ”Garoto Alucinado”; DJ Maluquinho, a type of Iggy Pop brega from the periferia of Belém;and the DJs Dinho, Ellysson and Juninho, idols of the aparelhagens, enormous sound systems that are the main attractions of tecnobrega.

Even better is the fact you can download the film for free here.
