Bixa Travesty (remix) (feat. Ventura Profana e Podeserdesligado)

Linn da Quebrada's 'Bixa Travesty (remix)' featuring Ventura Profana and Podeserdesligado is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of identity, empowerment, and resistance. The song's repetitive chorus, 'Bixa só, trava só,' emphasizes the solitary yet resilient nature of the 'bixa' and 'trava'—terms used within the LGBTQ+ community in Brazil to describe queer and trans individuals. This repetition underscores the strength and independence of these identities, even when faced with societal isolation.

The lyrics also draw on religious and spiritual imagery, subverting traditional narratives to celebrate queer existence. Phrases like 'Desejai como meninas recém-nascidas a plena leite espiritual' and 'Prefiro o leite materno ao leite de todos vocês' suggest a return to a pure, untainted form of nourishment and growth, rejecting societal norms and expectations. This spiritual nourishment is framed as essential for the salvation and empowerment of queer individuals, positioning them as divine and powerful beings.

Furthermore, the song highlights the collective power and glory of the queer community. Lines such as 'Porque delas, por elas, para elas são todas as coisas' and 'Gordas gordas gordas de poder' celebrate the abundance and vitality of queer lives. The song calls for recognition and celebration of the diverse and vibrant identities within the LGBTQ+ community, from the 'caatinga' to the 'amazônicas.' This inclusive and celebratory tone is a call to action for both self-acceptance and societal recognition, making 'Bixa Travesty (remix)' a profound statement of queer pride and resilience.
