Tropicalismo Dark

by Madd Rod & Noporn

/

about

Join Madd Rod and Noporn in the world of dark tropicalism as they unveil “Tropicalismo Dark”. This energetic and rebellious track connects the Porto-based artist with the São Paulo duo via Berlin, on the first real life session together after a history of collaborations and remixes.

Liana Padilha uses her iconic voice to read a poem about her own tropicalism. We learn it is dark, punk and half-destroyed, and the reasons are the political and financial struggles of their hometown.

Madd Rod and Lucas Freire bring in live guitars and drums, a Juno 106 and strings from Korg’s Minilogue.

Master by Gabriel Carminatti from Control Mastering.

lyrics

Meu tropicalismo é dark, semi-destruído
por anos de exploração
É triste como a Cracolândia na esquina,
é perdido

Meu tropicalismo é cinza e sujo,
da fuligem dos trens da CTPM
Não me venha com bananas e restos do passado
Ah-ah-ah!

Meu tropicalismo são as pessoas catando lixo
Na porta da minha casa, para comer

É a falta de vontade e a maldade dos governos,
A mesquinhez dos ricos,
A falta de amor, de educação

Meu tropicalismo anda pelas ruas da Barra Funda,
Vestido de preto
Às vezes meu tropicalismo é punk e quer sair quebrando tudo
