Brazilian WAX

Not that one people think of

Brazilian WAX

Created in 2016 by two Brazilian women “Brazilian WAXxx” is a “bloco” (a street parade singing a theme song) bringing Brazilian street Carnaval culture to Brunswick, Melbourne. This ‘Bloco’ aims to provoke reflection around ‘why we associate Brazil with intimate waxing services?’ ‘Are Brazilian women expected to be bare down under?’

How did it come to be that the name of an entire nation be rendered synonymous to complete intimate hair removal?

‘SAVE THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON’ is the first original song composed for the ‘bloco’. In an ironic way we raise the discussion about the criminal deforestation occurring every day in forests around the world, relating this to the cultural nonsense of assuming that a woman should keep her wetlands totally deforested.

Perhaps people could pay more attention to the Earth’s wellbeing than making assumptions about a woman’s pubic hair.

The song is a direct manifesto about the choice of keeping the lush forests in our wetlands.

Marchinha

Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira
Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira

No matagal, não mexe não
Sendo vai dar uma puta confusão
Mas a mocinha, pode aparar
Poe biquininho e vai na praia pra nadar

Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira
Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira

Quando eu te falo, sou brasileira
Sua cabeça fica cheia de besteira
Mas meu amigo, que cara eh essa?
Não tenho tempo pra esse tipo de conversa

Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira
Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira

Toda mulher que tem joelho
Tambem vai ter um bocado de pentelho
O meu amigo, deixa de besteira
Tem muito mato na Amazônia brasileira

Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira
Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira

Gillete? Não! Com cera? Não!
Isso é uma questão de opinião.
Gillete? Não! Com cera? Não!
Até sem desmatamento da tesão

Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira
Salve, salve, salve a Amazônia brasileira

Marchinha

Save, save, save the Amazon
Save, save, save the Amazon

Do not mess with the forest
Or it will give you big trouble
But a young lady, she can trim
Put on a little bikini and go to the beach to swim

Save, save, save the Amazon
Save, save, save the Amazon

When I tell you, "I'm Brazilian"
Your head fills with bullshit
And my friend, what kind of look is that?
I do not have time for this kind of conversation

Save, save, save the Amazon
Save, save, save the Amazon

Every woman who has a knee
She’ll also have a lot of pubes
My friend, stop fooling around
There are a lot of weeds in the Brazilian forest

Save, save, save the Amazon
Save, save, save the Amazon

To shave? No !!! Waxing? No !!!
It’s a matter of opinion
To shave? No !!! Waxing? No !!!
Even without deforestation it’ll turn you on !

Save, save, save the Amazon
Save, save, save the Amazon
