Let the light in (Lu & Lelé vocals & Guitar)

Sang by Iguana @ Mojubá music class, London 28 October 2018
Simbora meu mano, bora mano meu
Simbora pra Angola eh, bora mais eu
[verses]
Borá pra Aruanda, pra mestre Pastinha, Mestre Bimba, Besouro e também Canjiquinha
Bora pra Bahia, pra os dois João , um é o cobra mansa outro é o Gavião
Bora pra Pelourinho, pra o Mestre Moraes, aprender fundamento do nossos ancestrais
Bora pra o Barracão, pra vadiar um pouquinho, come mestre Zé Antônio e também Poncianinho

Mixed Messages ft. Olivia Lu (Remixed by Magneze)

Classical Guitar version of Mixed Messages (the original original!)
Lyrics
Mixed messages from every direction
Missed signals, can't make a connection

[Verse 1]
Who should I be? Where do I fit?
How should I dress? How should I text?
Who should I please? How should I act?
When should I rest? When should I be wild?
When should I scream it out? What should I believe in?
What can I say without being cancelled?

[Chorus]
Mixed messages from every direction
Missed signals, can't make a connection

[Verse 2]
Am I too aggressive? Am I a doormat?
Am I too suggestive? Too skinny or too fat?
too much, not enough. Too weak or too strong?
It just feels so rough to be star shaped
In a circular hole. Their opinions so loud
I'm trying to get out of this invisible cloud.

[Chorus]
Mixed messages from every direction
Missed signals, can't make a connection

[Verse 3]
Give me the confidence to trust my own thoughts
To listen to myself and not follow the hordes
Hive minds and bigots and emotional terrorists
Make it all go away! Give me a sunny day!
In a town by the ocean
My dear cat and sweet chats
Talking about fanciful notions

Mixed Messages (Lelé Guitar & vocals)

Another song that came to me while having a shower! Tabloid Formula... Self-explanatory?  
The formula used by tabloid newspapers to satisfy the bitter bigot's thirst for a specific type of 'news'.

"Titillate, terrify, infuriate
Irritate, humiliate, incinerate"

Dubstep track with Agogô as the theme.

An agogô is a single or a multiple bell now used throughout the world but with origins in traditional Yoruba and Edo music and also in the samba baterias. The agogô may be the oldest samba instrument and was based on West African Yoruba single or double bells. The agogô has the highest pitch of any of the bateria instruments.
