Kaiowas Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dressed2Depress 

Cover art for Kaiowas lyrics by Sepultura

"This song is inspired by a Brasilian Indian tribe called "Kaiowas," who live in the rain forest. They committed mass suicide as a protest against the government, who were trying to take away their land and their beliefs."

Taken from the Chaos A.D. liner notes.

I love how this song still sounds like Sepultura despite being an entirly acoustic number. The rythem and riffs are similar to many of their louder numbers and the pounding tribal barrage of Igor Cavalera is still as present.

@Dressed2Depress interesting that there is no evidence available online to support the mass suicide (although suicide rates are high with the people, called Kaiowa.
