Tigarah: Japanese Rap with a Brazilian Accent

I heard this story on the radio today. Click on the "listen" button.

zomg Tigarah, Japanese Rapper with Brazillian Accent.
 

Official Site

Go there and pick either Japanese Queen or Girl Fight. Basically, all songs in the list are AWESOME.

I don't know much about her, but her music is great XD

Looks like she's an indies artist. Btw, she's Hip Hop / Rap.

Interesting...

She has a major in political science from Tokyo's Keio University...

I tried her music a couple of months ago...

...I thought it was stupid....

Shes cute though. and has a cool name.

I like her name!
And.. I can't believe I'm saying this but.. I love her songs.

This is like the only rap/hip-hop artist I really like O__O!!

Someone send me her songs XD

Wow, she really sucks. o_o

^sucks? FGS, I can't believe you.


This girl rawks! :3
Does her CDs released in US?

what's wrong with her voice @@
definitely agree with j-nerd.
she sucks >"<

Her songs are only available by myspace and her official site...
She's an independent artist and isn't signed to any label yet, but you can buy her EP here.

By the way she's really cool!!! Some of her songs are very catchy and have clever lyrics...especially "Japanese Queen". :D

Some ppl will notice some familiar sound between M.I.A. and TIGARAH...she's is like a japanese version of her. Just a little more j-popped. :P

This sounds like brazilian funk o_O lol. Mia and TIgarah have been listening to funk I'm sure of it! ahahaha
Thanks for the link, I'm listening to her songs.

OMG I can't believe brazillian "bailes funk" are contaminating japan ahahh Funk sucks, but once it gets stuck on your head you're damned to get into groove with it (and feel ashamed) LMAO!!!

Honestly, I'm yet to wonder why does the worst of brazillian music get to channel and get attention from japanese artists LOL :laugh I just hope ayumi won't get into that trend ahahha

whoa...i've totally ignored this girl...but i actually listened to her and i think she's genius! she's reminds me of M.I.A. but i think i like her more. thanks for bringing her to our attention!

She does have catchy music...but I guess it's also an acquired taste for some people :P

I'm glad people like her. I actually cannot purchase anything online so I'm glad if people would support her through purchasing her music, so she will notice that her efforts & works are appreciated.

I'm trying to download her single on iTunes....it didn't work for me yesterday, but I hope it works today. :(

thread hasn't had activity in a while, but if she still has fans here, she is now releasing in Japan:

1st Album - "The Funkeira goes BANG!" 2009.07.01
Japanese debut EP - "TIGARAH!" 2009.04.10
[ Official Site | Blog (Japanese | English) | Myspace ]

I'm a fan! I haven't payed much attention to her in a while, so thanks for the update!

cool, I'd download that lol

Never heard of Tigarah before.

What exactly is baile funk? (as it says in the thread title).

EDIT - nevermind about my question, I saw the answer in first post, lol. :o ^^;

"baile funk" is not a music genre, it's "funk ball" or "funk party", the parties where they play this kind of music...

here, we call it "funk carioca" what means something like "Rio de Janeiro's funk"
