    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.

    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.

lyrics

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
