Curious fact:
Mama África
Woman, black, single mother, poor… this is Mama Africa by Chico Cesar, one of the composer's most popular songs. The internationally acclaimed melody speaks of a woman who is like thousands of Brazilian women: An Afro-descendant woman who works in a popular store (Casas Bahia) working as packer, assistant while doing household chores. A woman who only has her own labor force.
It is known that black single mothers are some of the groups paid the lowest wages in the country. Even though the world is not kind to Mama Africa, the singer-songwriter's music is not a whimper, nor a claim, it is a song that shows strength and gentleness despite the difficulties that life may present.
The Paraiban folklore of Chico Cesar's music
Chico Cesar was born in Paraíba, one of the twenty-six states that, together with the federal district, form the Federative Republic of Brazil. It is a state rich in folkloric traditions that manifest in dances, festivals, plays and other forms that the popular imagination has preserved for hundreds of years and that are part of a unique legacy of Brazilian identity. The Paraiban folklore, which is taught in schools and universities, impresses with its richness of colors and rhythms; it portrays the soul of a people that knew how to overcome adversities and make life a reason for joy. All this love of origin and tradition can be perceived in the music composed and performed by Chico Cesar, which is the reason why he is the favorite of the best performers in Brazil.
