about

It's a sound heard often in Brazil over the last four years: people stepping on their balconies and banging on their pans. Noise against a government that has undone all previous efforts to make Brazil more just, more united and more tolerant. Da Cruz have picked up on this sound here. The song is about the pain and anger of someone whose values and Afro-Brazilian history are being ridiculed by a cynical government. "Oh my God! This cultural abyss must end," sings Mariana Da Cruz at the end of this raucous and powerfully grooving song that shuttles stylistically between Africa, Europe and Brazil - urbane, fervent and driven towards the end by an almost mocking furore.
