about

In the XXI century Congado groups still sing about slavery, this is a sign that slavery has changed its format but still exists in Brazil.
Em pleno século XXI grupos de Congado cantam sobre a escravidão, isso é um sinal que a escravidão mudou seu formato, mas ainda existe no Brasil.

lyrics

Eu sou um Africano / I am an african
Vim para o brasil contra a vontade / I came to Brazil against my will
Trabalhar na escravidão / Working in slavery
De dia de noite / From day to night
Sem poder ter liberdade / Without being able to have freedom

Vou botar fogo no engenho / I’m going to burn down the mill
onde o nego apanhou / Where the black guy was beaten
o nego hoje é gente / Black people today are people too
quer dançar e ser doutor / They want to dance and be doctors
