Casetta e Planeta: Baile Funk parody on Brazilian TV

So there's some Brazilian sketch comedy show that parodies two Baile
Funk artists, Casetta e Planeta ("Casette" and "Planet"). One has a
scraggly afro (scraggle-fro?) and the other has parallel light and
dark stripes (skunk-hawk?). They talk in really Baile Funk -esque
cadences, and in this episode of the sketch Casette and Planet go to
Venezuela, where they are greeted by a parody of Hugo Chavez who
speaks in a robotic, military Spanish in the fashion of the square
not digging this crazy music.

They sing him a really silly Baile Funk song and get chased out of
the country. Then they go to Argentina. I'm not sure what happens
in Argentina, cause I got distracted.

(kevin and andy, thought I'd CC you on this, but this is basically a
blog post, if youtube has anything matching this, please link to it
in the comments).
