Jaraguá Is Guarani! Indaíz honors the Indigenous cause on a new album and goes live this Saturday! Listen!

Indaíz is a band from the outskirts to the outskirts. It's a band that uses the delicious swing of reggae as a backdrop to carry out social politics. After all, what's the point of being an artist and not taking a stand?

Jaraguá É Guarani

His second album - "Jaraguá É Guarani" - talks about the struggle for the demarcation of indigenous lands in the São Paulo neighborhood of Jaraguá. About the social and cultural struggle in the northwest region of São Paulo. The album creates a link between favelas and villages that live in similar contexts, each with its own particularities, but with the same struggle. Sônia Barbosa (Ara Mirim), Guarani leader, appears on the album cover. The production comes from the hands of Guto Gonzales, from Estúdio Lamparina. There are eight tracks with lyrics that everyone should listen to carefully. Because more than ever, “you need to be attentive and strong”, sang Caetano in “Divino Maravilhoso”. The title track, “Jaraguá é Guarani”, embraces the cause of the indigenous people of the northwest region of São Paulo. It was released as a single in May, during episodes of indigenous resistance due to attempts to repossess the Aldeia Tekoá Pyau land, in Jaraguá.

AS TRIBES OF JARAGUÁ

For those who don't know, in the northwest region of the city of São Paulo, in the Jaraguá neighborhood, there are six villages belonging to the Guarani Mbya ethnic group. Another population also lives there. On one side the community residents and on the other the indigenous people, separated by a line of prejudice and lack of information. This funky music emerged to strengthen the bond between the favela and the village and features Elaine Alves, from Banda Ambulantes, and the indigenous rap group Oz Guarani. This album represents our resistance, as Indaíz's work takes us from survival to existing within this current context, as artists and residents of the Periphery of São Paulo. This second album is showing us, in practice, that we can continue all the struggles taking place in our territory. Our music and our truth are our weapons of struggle for the cause ‘Jaraguá é Guarani’ and against this fascist government. Without violence, with intelligence and peripheral science, we show the world that the people of the forests and the people of the favelas can build a fairer and free Brazil together” - says Sandro Indaíz, vocalist and composer.
