FUNK PARADE TOUR

FUNK PARADE: The Evolution of Baile Funk was one of Luara's most ambitious and culturally significant projects to date. As the creative & cultural director , she led and curated a national summer tour (Dec 2024–Feb 2025) that celebrated the history, sound, and global impact of Baile Funk. From its roots in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to its explosive influence on international dance floors, FUNK PARADE brought together music, art, and community in an unapologetically powerful way. The project was made even more special through a landmark collaboration with the Government of Espírito Santo, Brazil and Music Victoria, who supported the inclusion of international Baile Funk artist Karolla, marking a rare cultural exchange that bridged Brazil and Australia. Each event featured high-energy DJ sets, bold visual art installations, and a commitment to honouring the resilience, creativity, and political power behind Funk culture. A documentary capturing the tour is currently in production and will be featured on Mixmag's website and social channels.
