Embracing the Essence of Tribalism: A Journey with Tribalistas

The song 'Tribalistas' by the Brazilian supergroup Tribalistas, composed of Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown, and Marisa Monte, is a celebration of unity, simplicity, and the rejection of conventional societal norms. The lyrics emphasize the power of the number three, symbolizing the trio of artists and the concept of a trinity, which is often associated with completeness and harmony. This recurring motif of 'three' sets the stage for the song's deeper exploration of tribalism and collective identity.

The Tribalistas express a desire to move beyond the need for reason, certainty, and traditional structures such as religion and doctrine. They advocate for a more fluid and open-minded approach to life, one that embraces the present moment and the inherent value of simply being. The phrase 'Pé em Deus e fé na taba' (Foot in God and faith in the tribe) encapsulates this philosophy, suggesting a balance between spiritual faith and a grounded connection to one's community and roots.

The song also touches on themes of evolution and transformation, with references to the artists' past and their journey from primal origins ('Um dia já fui chimpanzé') to their current state of self-awareness and artistic expression. The Tribalistas see themselves as 'saudosistas do futuro' (nostalgic for the future), blending a sense of longing for what is to come with a deep appreciation for the present. This duality is further highlighted by their description as 'turistas' (tourists) within the 'placenta do planeta azulzinho' (womb of the little blue planet), emphasizing their transient yet interconnected existence within the world.

Ultimately, 'Tribalistas' is a call to embrace one's true self and the collective spirit of humanity. It encourages listeners to let go of rigid structures and to find strength and faith in their community and shared human experience. The song's message is one of unity, acceptance, and the beauty of living authentically in harmony with others.
