Another great example for the diaspora´s inexhaustible source for arts and great music.In this video She interpret a anthem written by Jorge Ben who certainly i do not have to introduce, the Master of the Brazilian Diaspora and Black Brazilian Music in the world. Caetano Veloso describes him as “not only the first great black composer since bossa nova…[but] also and most importantly the first to make that blackness the determining stylistic element… Jorge Ben brought a tone of black consciousness to Brazilian pop music.” So here the combination of a new and old diaspora coming from Brazil with a song that name come after the great slave revolutionary ZUMBI dos Palmares, for me one of the most important Brazilian diaspora anthem ever. check the video ans lirycs below... youtu.be/t1bc3qLWcyI Zumbi Lyrics from “Zumbi” by Jorge Ben Angola, Congo, Benguela Monjolo, Cabinda, Mina Quiloa, Rebolo Here where the men are There’s a big auction They say that in the auction, There’s a princess for sale Who came, together with her subjects Chained on an oxcart I want to see, I want to see, I want to see Angola, Congo, Benguela Monjolo, Cabinda, Mina Quiloa, Rebolo Here where the men are To one side, sugarcane To the other side, the coffee plantation In the middle, seated gentlemen Watching the cotton crop, so white Being picked by black hands I want to see, I want to see, I want to see When Zumbi arrives What will happen Zumbi is a warlord A lord of demands When Zumbi arrives, Zumbi Is the one who gives orders I want to see, I want to see, I want to see
