Bat Macumba


Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes have recorded this fun song. Macumba is an Afro-Brazilian religion, as well as a musical instrument. Gilberto Gil was also in an official position in the Brazilian government, Minister of Culture or something like that. Enjoy!



He also worked with Jorge Ben, my all-time favorite Brazilian artist. Check out "Filhos de Gandhi," which alludes to an afoxe in Brazilian Carnival. The song and the group is full of allusions to Afro-Brazilian religion and culture, including numerous orixas. Check it out!
