about

Oswald de Andrade (Brazil, 1890-1954).

Oswald de Andrade was a Brazilian modernist poet. He is best known for his Cannibal Manifesto, in which he reimagines the cultural relationship between Brazil and the colonial world. Rather than imitating European art, which would give it power over them, Brazilian artists should “cannibalize” it—internalize it, take ownership of it, and then create independent art that includes it without bowing down to it. In the post-colonial world immediately after World War II, the cannibalistic approach to culture became increasingly relevant, and it remains so now in a world where the dominance of U.S. culture is waning.

The title of this track references his Cannibal Manifesto, as well as the idea of consuming the world in order to possess and reinvent it.

lyrics

Barulho! E bagunça! E banalidade.
Intolerável!

Devemos engolir o mundo
Nossas próprias paixões
Fazer o novo mundo.

Barulho! E bagunca! E banalidade.

** Translation: The Cannibal Song **

Noise! And mess! And banality.
Intolerable!

We must swallow the world
Our own passions
Make the new world.

Noise! And mess! And banality.
