Viviane de Queiroz Pereira (born October 17, 1994), known professionally as Pocah and formerly MC Pocahontas, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter.

The daughter of Marines de Queiroz and Leonardo Pereira, she is of African, Portuguese and Native Brazilian descent. Prior to her musical career, she worked as a manicure at her mother's beauty salon. Her first contact with music was accompanying her older brother on tours with his rock band when she was 12 years old, and during her high school years she was introduced to funk ''carioca''. She officially began her career in 2012 releasing the song "Mulher do Poder", which reached over 11 million views on YouTube and was considered a landmark in the then-blooming funk ''ostentação'' scene.

Pocahontas (character)
Pocahontas is the titular character of Walt Disney Pictures' 33rd animated feature film ''Pocahontas'' (1995). The character and the events she goes through are loosely based on the actual historical figure Pocahontas, making her the first Disney Princess not to be based on a fairytale or folktale but rather a real historical figure. She is also the first to technically not be a princess, as she is not of royalty nor does she marry into royalty. She is, however, a Chieftain's daughter, which can arguably be the equivalent of a princess. Pocahontas, as the daughter of a Native American Tsenacommacah-paramount chief of the Powhatan paramountcy, is the first American Disney Princess. In Disney's animated 1995 film of the same name, she is voiced by Native American actress Irene Bedard, who was also one of the physical models for the character, and her singing vocals were performed by Broadway singer Judy Kuhn. Pocahontas is the seventh member of the Disney Princess line-up. Dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Funk Ostentação
Funk ostentação (from Portuguese: ''Ostentation funk''), is a Brazilian music style created in São Paulo in 2008. The central theme addressed in the songs is conspicuous consumption, and many ''funk ostentação'' artists sing about cars, motorcycles, drink, women, and ambitions to leave the favela and achieve life goals. While the dominant lyrical themes of the Rio de Janeiro scene at the time were criminality and lack of social justice, the first ''funk ostentação'' song, "Bonde da Juju", recorded by MCs Backdi and Bio G3 in September 2008, established the new genre's opposing theme of ostentation. Several ''funk ostentação'' festivals were subsequently held in the state of São Paulo, and the movement began to grow. Its national debut came with the launch of the video for "Megane" by MC Boy do Charmes in mid-2011. As it became clear that ''funk ostentação'' would be best represented in audiovisual format, the cinematographer KondZilla became the first to produce vide ...
