    The Xokleng people suffer a lot of prejudice and a lot of harm from the government and other institutions who want to take away the land where they live and their rights, now they are trying to fight back by spreading their culture and asking for help.

    Here is a bit about them (in their own words):
    Our sole and exclusive cause is to remove our most sacred tree, the Zág (Araucaria angustifolia, Parana pine) from extinction. It is currently in the last stage before being considered extinct in the wild. It is the most critical stage of all.

    We have been carrying out this work since 2018, but we still lack some tools and have continuous expenses with food and accommodation for volunteers, fuel for transporting the seedlings, in addition to the need to acquire more protective equipment and some biodegradable materials that are used in the production of seedlings.

    As there are no more mature trees in our Indigenous Land, we have to travel hundreds of kilometers every year to obtain the seeds directly from nature. All our activities are carried out in the most traditional way possible of Laklãnõ techniques, combining them with modern agroforestry techniques.

    The purpose of the fund raised is to make more araucaria planting actions possible within the Laklãnõ Indigenous Land for the next season.

eu passei por tantas vias sem entender eu passei por tanto tempo sem poder dizer eu passei por tanto tempo sem poder dançar eu passei por tanto pensamento sem andar eu andei por tanto tempo sem te entender eu te entendi por tanto tempo antes de sonhar mas cada sonho que me passou só corta nada vem nada tem nada vai tudo passa vira areia lá se vai satisfaz mano eu não to pensando em mais nada além do cais e os espíritos que eu vejo todo dia de manhã quando olho além da margarina que compõe o pão da minha mão se desfaz pelo ralo não vejo mais nada tudo que passou já passou um dia vem passado mano eu to passado como a carne do meu prato pode até tentar se por no passado do pretérito perfeito já tentei de tudo eu não sou tão perfeito deixo a ferida aberta para poder cutucar como viagem no tempo não sei como voltar I went through so many ways without understanding I went through so much time without being able to say I went through so much time without being able to dance I went through so much thought without walking I walked for so long without understanding you I understood you for so long before dreaming but every dream that passed me by I'm not gonna let you down I can't get over it, I can't get over it, I can't get over it I'm not thinking of anything else but the pier and the spirits that I see every day in the morning When I look beyond the margarine that makes up the bread my hand is crumbling down the drain I see nothing else all that's past is past one day I am past like the meat on my plate you can even try to put yourself in the past perfect tense I've tried everything I'm not so perfect I leave the wound open so I can poke like time travel i don't know how to get back

Today I have the pleasure Or should I say the duty To tell you a curious tale If you listen until the end You won’t regret Listening about Shoot’em & Right’on Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em arrive Grabs a chair Sits on the middle of the street People joke on him People laugh on him But then Shoot'em Grabs an harmonica Shoot'em don't mess around He shows all he's got The whole city awakens To see what's up Some go sick Some faint Some cheers Some boo And at his chair Shoot'em Challenges the crowd "I want to hear a voice That sounds like storm!" Suddenly a lightning Everybody runs away And it was only Right'on Warming up his throat And both there sang A beautiful duo That made even the dead To dance their bones away Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Shoot'em! Shoot'em! Right on! Hoje eu tenho o direito Ou eu diria o dever de contar uma história Curiosa pra você Se ouvir até o final Juro não vai se arrepender De ouvir sobre o tal Do Manda Bala e Podescrê Manda bala manda bala manda bala E podescrê Manda bala manda bala manda bala E podescrê Calada da madrugada Chega logo manda bala Pega logo uma cadeira Senta no meio da praça Tem gente que só faz troça Tem gente que acha graça Eis então que Manda bala Tira do bolso uma gaita E manda bala nem dá corda Já começa na trapaça A cidade toda acorda Para ver o que se passa Tem gente que passa mal Tem até gente que desmaia Tem gente que bate palma E tem até gente que vaia E manda bala na cadeira desafia a multidão quero ver quem tem a voz Que é mais forte que trovão De repente cai um raio O povo saiu correndo Era só o Podescrê Que tava ali se aquecendo E os dois tocaram juntos Um belíssimo dueto Que fez até os defunto Remexer os esqueleto Manda bala manda bala manda bala E podescrê Manda bala manda bala manda bala E podescrê

about

July 21, 2023: Pedroso & Pedrosa are Rafael de Toledo Pedroso (they/them, he/him) and Pedro Pedrosa (he/him) and are from Paraná and Rio de Janeiro. The title of this new album, No Bico do Corvo, is a popular expression used in the southern region of Brazil. It literally translates to “In the Beak of the Crow” and it is used when someone is close to dying.

This is a sentiment that Pedroso & Pedrosa felt when working on this album. No Bico do Corvo is about time, grief, and introspection.

The songs were recorded from 2021 to 2022, first in an improvised studio in the mountains of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and later in another improvised studio over the plains of Ponta Grossa, Paraná.

All the instrumentation and composition were done by the duo except the first track, which is a is a traditional African-American spiritual. The other songs are performed, improvised, and sung by both Pedroso & Pedrosa.

No Bico do Corvo blends singer-songwriter compositions and unique experimentation with DIY recording techniques. The result is a mix of atmospheres and vibes that are woven together through the concept of the passage of time, always present to remind us that we all soon will be in the beak of a crow.

Proceeds from tapes go to Intituto Zág (Zág Institute) – The zág or Araucaria as it is more widely known, is a native tree from south of Brazil that is sacred to a lot of indigenous tribes, such as the Laklãnõ Xokleng which has as one of the bases of their culture, the sacred ritual that involves Zág seeds and planting them in the correct way, the way it was originally planted ages ago.
