The Ruckus Poetry Slam ft. daCosta - "Histórias de Minar"
There was probably no better time than the present to have daCosta, one of Brazil's brightest young talents, join us on the podcast. daCosta, an award winning slam poet from the city of Rio de Janeiro, spit fire into the mic and left the crew speechless with his lyrical artistry. His poem, "Histórias de Minar", is a travel through Brazil's turbulent past and present, but his final bar puts the future in check when he proclaims,
"Be warned that literature is also ours.
And if you're going to be talking shit on Facebook
Lock your doors, tightly,
because we are no longer afraid to tell racists to go fuck themselves”
Listen the first time to enjoy the flow. Listen the second time to understand his words. And, listen one final time so his words can move you.
**We've provided a rough translation of his work (IG:@theruckuspodcast), which does no justice to the original. Make sure to follow this young brother: @dacostafricana.
He's got talent, y'all!
