Primavera Fascista (feat. Bocaum, Leoni, Adikto, Axant, Mary Jane, Vk Mac & Dudu)

“Primavera Fascista” by Setor Proibido, featuring Bocaum, Leoni, Adikto, Axant, Mary Jane, Vk Mac, and Dudu, is a powerful and unapologetic critique of fascism, racism, homophobia, and political corruption in Brazil. The song is a raw and intense expression of anger and resistance against the rise of authoritarianism, particularly targeting the political climate surrounding Jair Bolsonaro's presidency. The lyrics are interspersed with speeches that reflect the hateful rhetoric often used by far-right politicians, creating a stark contrast with the voices of the artists who stand against such ideologies.

Bocaum opens the song by condemning the idolization of fascists and the support for torture, highlighting the manipulation of the masses. He draws parallels between historical figures like Marielle Franco and Mestre Moa, who were victims of political violence, and the current struggle against oppression. The lyrics emphasize the hypocrisy of those who claim to act in the name of God while perpetuating hate and violence. Bocaum's verses are a call to arms for a civil war against the dictatorship, symbolizing the fight for justice and equality.

Leoni continues the narrative by addressing the systemic racism and police brutality faced by Black communities. He criticizes the ignorance and prejudice of those who support fascist ideologies, pointing out the absurdity of their beliefs. Leoni's verses are a scathing indictment of the social and economic disparities that plague Brazil, and he calls for the empowerment of marginalized communities through education and cultural awareness.

Adikto, Axant, Mary Jane, Vk Mac, and Dudu each add their unique perspectives, reinforcing the themes of resistance and defiance. They tackle issues such as historical revisionism, the spread of misinformation, and the dangers of unchecked power. The song's chorus, “Primavera fascista, isso não é um teste!” (Fascist spring, this is not a test!), serves as a rallying cry for those who oppose fascism and seek to protect democracy and human rights. The artists collectively emphasize the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of oppression, urging listeners to remain vigilant and active in the fight for a just society.
