Flowers & Poetry in the land of freedom October 23, 2009

For those who don’t know, this song is a huge classic of Brazilian (counter)culture, being released in 1968, during the terrible militar dictatorship that ended in 1984. The lyrics by Geraldo Vandré are a true poem against the violence and censorship imposed to several artists, including himself, at the darkest period of Brazilian recent history. The song, called “Pra Não Dizer Que Não Falei das Flores”, won an international music contest in the same year despite its prohibition for allegedly  being “disrespectful to the military government”.  Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos played this remix at Cocoon closing party, last month at Amnesia, Ibiza. Goose bumps. Via Daniel Kuhnen.
