Tipo Yellowstone (feat. Luan Pereira)
Léo e Raphael
Living the Dream: A Brazilian Take on 'Yellowstone'
The song 'Tipo Yellowstone' by Léo e Raphael, featuring Luan Pereira, is a vibrant celebration of rural life and success, drawing a parallel with the popular American TV series 'Yellowstone.' The lyrics paint a picture of a prosperous lifestyle, where the protagonists boast about their wealth, symbolized by their large cattle herds, expensive trucks, and high-end fashion choices like Tommy Hilfiger shirts. This imagery is a nod to the rugged yet affluent lifestyle depicted in 'Yellowstone,' a series that revolves around a powerful ranching family in Montana.
The repeated references to 'Tipo Yellowstone' (like Yellowstone) emphasize the aspiration to live a life of grandeur and influence, similar to the characters in the TV show. The song highlights the pride in their rural roots and the success they've achieved through hard work and dedication. The mention of 'Sicredi ligando' (Sicredi calling) and having credit available further underscores their financial stability and the respect they command in their community.
Culturally, the song taps into the Brazilian love for country music and the cowboy lifestyle, known locally as 'sertanejo.' By blending these elements with references to an American TV series, Léo e Raphael create a unique fusion that resonates with both local and global audiences. The song is not just about material wealth but also about the pride and identity that come with their way of life. It's a celebration of success, tradition, and the modern cowboy ethos, wrapped in a catchy, upbeat tune that invites listeners to join in the revelry.
