Brazilian musician Luiz Simas has released his new song and music video honoring the indigenous peoples of Brazil. “Canção dos Povos Originários” (Song for the Original Peoples) was recorded in New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Porto Alegre, with Simas on piano, vocals and keyboards, Carlos Malta on flute, Julia Haughton on vocals, and Paulo Roberto Brandão on additional keyboards. Brandão also mixed and mastered the track.

The very unusual song lyrics consist solely of the names of a few of the hundreds of indigenous tribes of Brazil. The music video and animation were created by Leon Vilhena and Duda Ásfora of the Lisbon-based company, Intermitente.

You can watch the video on YouTube or listen to the song without the video on all streaming platforms, such as Spotify. Luiz Simas' website is luizsimas.com.
