MC Fioti first released Bum Bum Tam Tam in 2017 through KondZilla, and its flute sample made it one of Brazilian funk's biggest exports. In January 2021, during the Covid vaccine rollout in Brazil, he reworked it as Vacina Butantan with the Butantan Institute in Sao Paulo, which produces CoronaVac. The playful remix was shared widely on social media to encourage vaccination, turning a serious campaign into a pop culture moment. The short vocal excerpt continues to circulate in memes long after the campaign.
About this sound
MC Fioti Vacina Butantan clip from the Bum Bum Tam Tam remix, a Brazilian funk meme sound used in vaccine jokes, edits and reaction videos online.
This short clip captures MC Fioti's catchy vocal hook from the Vacina Butantan version of Bum Bum Tam Tam, layered over his signature flute loop and heavy Brazilian funk beat. The stretched, playful delivery of the vaccine line turns a public health message into an instantly recognisable earworm. At just over five seconds it lands as a punchline rather than a full song, with the rhythm building and cutting off right on the vocal. Listeners familiar with the viral remix hear celebration and relief, while others hear pure funk carioca energy that sticks after one play.
