Introduction
Music is more than just sound — it’s an expression of identity, culture, and history.
For many communities in the periphery, genres like funk and brega represent not only entertainment but a form of resilience, storytelling, and empowerment.
Despite their cultural significance, these styles have long been stigmatized and undervalued by mainstream society.
Nanda’s advocacy for the 'Respect Meu Brega' law is a crucial step in changing that narrative.
By supporting legislation that validates these genres, she actively fights against cultural discrimination while ensuring that artists from peripheral communities receive the respect and visibility they deserve.
Her involvement extends beyond legislation — she positions herself as a leader in the cultural landscape, influencing public perception and standing alongside those who make music a vehicle for social change.
