According to Ronaldo Lemos, one of the important voices in the Brazilian open source movement and Director of the Center of Technology and Society (of the Fundação Getúlio Vargas) in Rio de Janeiro, recently publicized research findings show how the open business model of the TecnoBrega music scene in Belém — state of Pará, North region of the country — allows musicians to successfully sell content and performance directly to their audiences. The original concept translates into a genuine alternative business model for musicians that embraces openness as a fundamental rule and takes advantage of the digital features that boosts the rapid, cheap and effective distribution of cultural goods. While there are still many ready to label the initiative as undercover piracy, bloggers report and comment on how openness is starting to get a foothold in mainstream thinking.

Tecno Brega is a strong musical scene from northern Brasil, with artists releasing hundreds of CDs a year. These get sold through a network of street vendors without returning a single penny to the artists, who make money by playing at concerts and parties. (Here’s an article bout Tecno Brega at the OpenBusiness site). Another example coming from Brasil is Baile Funk music (also known as ‘Favela Funk’ or ‘Funk Carioca’) - Ronaldo pointed out the high symbolic impact of this music, which originates in Rio’s favelas and spreads out around the world as artists copy its infectious rhythms. Tati Quebra Barraco, a popular Funk MC, has not sued M.I.A. for including samples of Tati’s songs in their hit song “Bucky Done Gun” without paying a cent of royalties. Appropriation is natural to Baile Funk artists. In Egypt, singers make their music available for free on the internet for “pirating”, while they make big profits by playing at weddings.
