The funk scene of Rio de Janeiro is filled with MCs and bands formed by women. Tati Quebra-Barraco, for example, draws a crowd who sings along to every dirty lyric. There are many other "bondes" (dance and vocal ensembles) that make audiences go wild. "I'm ugly but trendy" attempts to map the Rio de Janeiro funk universe from the point of view of female funkers, who are also mothers, wives, students and workers.
