Baião Das Comunidades

Zé Vicente's 'Baião Das Comunidades' is a powerful anthem that calls for unity, social justice, and communal love. The song's lyrics emphasize the importance of coming together as a community to fight for a better future. The repeated lines, 'Somos gente nova vivendo a união' and 'Somos povo semente de uma nova nação,' highlight the vision of a new nation built on unity and love. This vision is not just a dream but a call to action for all members of society, regardless of their background or social status.

The song specifically invites various groups to join in this collective effort. Workers, indigenous people, black communities, women, children, and the marginalized are all called upon to unite and fight for their rights. The lyrics, 'Vou convidar os meus irmãos trabalhadores' and 'Vamos chamar os índios que ainda resistem,' serve as a rallying cry for these groups to come together and celebrate their shared struggles and hopes. The song acknowledges the ongoing resistance and resilience of these communities, urging them to continue their fight for 'terra, pão e paz' (land, bread, and peace).

'Baião Das Comunidades' also celebrates cultural diversity and the strength that comes from it. The mention of 'negros, irmãos no sangue e na sina' and the call to 'sambar de verdade' highlight the rich cultural heritage that each group brings to the table. The song's inclusive message is further emphasized by the invitation to women, children, and the marginalized, making it clear that everyone has a role to play in building a new, just society. The song ends on a hopeful note, envisioning a future where 'quem chorou vai ter que rir,' symbolizing the triumph of joy and justice over suffering and oppression.
