I’m going to write about Brazilian music because this is what I usually listen to when I feel sad so I can cheer up easily. I also want to explain how much I love the music coming from that country even though I have never been there but I really want to go one day with my family.
There's a singer, who I first listened to because of the film “Fast & Furious 5” (which is not the kind of film I like) and as it has Brazil as a setting, I watched part of it and just by coincidence the part where this song appears.
This singer is called Obando D2 and the name of the song is “Desafabo deixa eu dizer”, which literally means “Relief let me tell you” I know very little about this singer but I think he's been singing for a long time because he has more than one hundred songs. He’s in hip-hop and he’s just one of many singers who rap about the situation in Brazil, about poverty and crime in the favelas specially. Just like Paralamas do Suceso and other bands have also sung.
I like this song because of the lyrics, as you could read in the video, he talks about what is to live in a favela and how he’d like Brazil to be. I’m interested in Brazilian culture, specially because I practice capoeira and I hope I can continue practising it. With the different teachers we had and friends from there, who live in Chile now, I've learnt a great deal about the way Brazilians are... And they're a lot; the current population estimate for 2018 is 210.87 million.
The other reason why I love music coming from Brazil is because I can practice Portuguese and the capoeira songs were some of the first one I remember learning by heard, just like we did with the instruments. What I also like about capoeira is that at some point, it becomes a language. You can be anywhere in the world and if you know how to "play" capoeira, you can join the roda.
