Samba-Enredo 2024 - Raiz Afro Mãe: Meu Brasil Bantu

I am, African royalty
Sovereign triumphant black skin
Sowing ancestral memory
I was the spear and the immortal sword
I came in a sea on fire with the invader
The strength of Guinea forged me
In every yard, Mandingue drum
From the ground of Mozambique, the black resists
From Angola comes the courage to fight
A fortress that will never bow down

Oh, maracatu, maculelê
Oh, there's capoeira and commotion
Hail the rosary of black mother, hail the jongo
Quilombola heritage King of Congo

In every hope
I remake alliance among brothers
I spread flavors shaping the richness of this land
The drum beats, it's semba
The drum beats, it's samba
It's Zuela from Luanda
It's Inkissi dancing
I'm another muzenza, eternal apprentice
It's Bantu, my root

Put palm oil on the skin
Get your hands on, drummer
Ingoma, curimba
The Youth has mironga and makes the body shiver
