Ordem e Progresso

Brazilians. They fill up stadiums to watch football and drink beer or to hear the pope say they shouldn't. Their administration is saturated with corruption. Robbery is not something that makes you keep an extra eye open, it’s simply giving you the exact same kind of awareness as if you were masturbating in your room, knowing your mother, who never knocks, is at home. So I’ve heard…

Brazilians also have a certain vibe that’s inherent to their identity. I still haven’t quite been able to put my finger on it, but examples are showing cada vez mais.

Of course, being the Ulks we’re supposed to be, we already bit and swallowed Cansei de Ser Sexy (Got Tired of Being Sexy), while some of us might even have bitten some Ivete Sangalo, for different reasons. Personally I’d like to bite some essential parts off Sergio Mendes, but then again, who wouldn’t?

Today we’re biting and definitely swallowing Bonde do Rolê (Tram of Rolê). A while ago they caught my eye with Melo do Tobaco (Diplo Mix), containing a sample of Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker. This time the Bonde wants us to release the young rooster (Solta o Frango) and come with them. Well, if you insist…

I present to you: Bonde do Rolê from Curitiba, Brazil!

They have even been graced with a rare Architecture in Helsinki Remix.
