They Say: "Female rap in Rio de Janeiro is not recognized very much and we struggle to gain a space here," says Coelho, via translator. "Our songs talk about many different things such as love, fun, parties and about what is happening in society, about where we live and where we come from. But people like our music because Vidigal is a place of much talent, dance and music. We have actresses, singers, a bit of everything."

It was an amazing experience! We decided to shoot the routine of the girls in favela - we had a walk from the school where they first met then walked till the beach - just dancing, talking and making photos.
They are very talented and gorgeous - all the world will know about them.
