Eu quero TCHU, eu quero TCHA
Here's the official video for the Brazilian hit song of the moment, "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" by sertanejo stars João Lucas & Marcelo. The song is probably the biggest example of the "funk-nejo" phenomenon: sertanejo universitario musicians making use of elements from funk carioca. "Tchu tcha tcha tchutchu tcha" is basically the beatbox beat that's been used as the base of the major part of Rio funk songs for a long time. In fact, Mr. Catra, one of the most famous funk MC's, now claims that João Lucas & Marcelo are plagiarizing his beatbox and wants to get compensated for it. Anyway, I think it's fair to say that influence goes both ways - there are also lots of funk tracks influenced by sertanejo.
