TRABALHA By: Bat Makumba Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha, come, dorme (que) Trabalha Vai bater o ponto na segunda-feira Trabalha todo dia pra ganhar migalha Passa o dia sentado numa cadeira Pensa que é dono do maracangalha Chorus Se sente mutito grande por que tem um carro Fala com muita gente pelo telefone Se sente muito sexy fumando um cigarro E comandando a massa pelo megafone Chorus Terno italiano na Viera Souto Cospe num moleque pedindo trocado Moleque sai de banda assim meio maroto Pensa se matar esse cabra seria pecado É, pois é. É, moleque da turma do ralé Jogando bola de chinelo e soltando buscapé Pela idade devia tar chupando picolé Mas pra controlar sua furia só mesmo tomando mé É pois é. Tem cada uma que nao da pra acreditar A gente vira a outra face esperando eles cansar Mas em caso de amnesia a cura mesmo é apanhar Mas em caso de amnesia a cura mesmo é apanha

Lua bonita Se tu não fosses casada Eu preparava uma escada Pra ir no céu te buscar Se tu colasse teu frio com meu calor Eu pedia ao nosso senhor Pra contigo me casar Lua bonita Me faz aborrecimento Ver São Jorge no jumento Pisando no teu clarão Pra que cassaste com um homem tão sisudo Que come dorme faz tudo Dentro do seu coração Lua Bonita Meu São Jorge é teu senhor E é por isso que ele "véve" pisando teu esplendor Lua Bonita Se tu ouvisses meus conselhos Vai ouvir pois sou alheio Quem te fala é meu amor Deixa São Jorge No seu jubaio amuntado E vem cá para o meu lado Pra gente viver sem dor Deixa São Jorge No seu jubaio amuntado E vem cá para o meu lado Pra gente viver sem dor

about

You've found Bat Makumba's debut CD! The brainchild of Brazilian natives Alex Koberle and Emiliano Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the crossroads between the equatorial beats of Brazil and the punk, rock and funk influences of the U.S. and Europe. Locals to San Francisco, Bat Makumba's show is a hip renegade carnaval party full of tropicalia tinged ska, punk influenced forro, and rock infused samba. Since their debut in 2000 Bat Makumba have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base throughout the West Coast. Winners of a California Music Award for Best Latin Alternative Album and a SF Weekly Music Award for Best World Music Band, Bat Makumba have been hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of Five Latin Bands to Watch, and their debut album was named one of the Best Records of the Year by the East Bay Express. Incorporating the varied influences of horn player David Gibbs, keyboardist Jason Moen and drummer Noah Waldman, Bat Makumba's live show brings together an international palette of musicians and instrumentation (including accordion, zabumba, megaphone, clarinet and alfaia).
Named after the 70s classic Tropicalia song by Caetano Veloso + Gilberto Gil (popularized by Os Mutantes), 'Bat Makumba' loosely translates to mean the mixing of Brazilian traditionalism with international pop culture. Don't miss this kinetic, percussive music... join the renegade carnaval party that is Bat Makumba! '[Bat Makumba's] growing number of diehard fans who pack the band's shows are evidence that this irresistible percussive music gets across to feet of all persuasion.' -
The Beat Magazine (Nov/Dec, 2003)

'The San Francisco-based Brazilian rock band Bat Makumba comes out of it's cave with a potent self-titled debut album... With this album they are ready to drive Brazilian pop fans batty.'
(Jesse 'Chuy' Varela) - The Latin Beat Magazine (Oct, 2003)

'A super-impressive set of Brazilian/latin dance funk tunes, written and recorded by a trio out of San Francisco, CA... Highly recommended...' - Slipcue.com (Summer 2003)

'Bat Makumba have been holding court at some seriously sweaty shows at local venues for some time, and now they've finally gotten into the studio to capture their take on Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). The band's debut release, Bat Makumba, serves as a sharp calling card.'
- San Francisco Bay Guardian (8/20/02) Bat Makumba are:

Review
"Bat Makumba takes the warm styles of Brazil and gives them a hip, panty-hurling rock edge." -- Bill Picture, San Francisco Examiner, 6/19/03

"[Bat Makumba] have a hard-edged, raw quality that will be the key to their success." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian, 6/26/02

The music is lively and original; you don't have to be Brazilian, or speak Portuguese, to feel the flow. -- The Oakland Tribune, 7/19/02
