Open The Tcheka (versão 2019)

MC Lan's 'Open The Tcheka (versão 2019)' is a provocative and energetic track that delves into themes of sexuality, street culture, and the fusion of languages. The song is characterized by its explicit lyrics and raw delivery, reflecting the artist's roots in Brazilian funk, a genre known for its bold and unfiltered expression. The repeated references to 'beautiful bunda' and 'tcheleka' highlight a celebration of the female body, while the use of English phrases interspersed with Portuguese adds a playful, almost educational twist to the otherwise explicit content.

The lyrics also reveal a sense of empowerment and recognition for women, albeit in a controversial manner. Phrases like 'Toda little girl merece um reconhecimento' suggest that every girl deserves acknowledgment, which is then juxtaposed with the explicit instructions and commands that follow. This duality creates a complex narrative where admiration and objectification coexist, reflecting broader societal attitudes towards women in certain subcultures.

MC Lan's use of language is particularly noteworthy. By mixing English and Portuguese, he not only broadens the song's appeal but also comments on the global influence of American culture. The playful misuse of English phrases, such as 'The book is on the table' turned into 'The boga's on the bangle,' adds a layer of humor and irreverence. This linguistic blend serves as a metaphor for the cultural melting pot that is modern Brazil, where traditional and contemporary influences collide in vibrant and unexpected ways.
