Si hablamos de
los motivos cada persona dará sus razones pero el resumen es miseria, soledad,
drogas y violencia.
La idea partió
de uno de sus profesores que propuso
hacer un trabajo creativo para explicar su propia cultura indígena. Se sentían
solos y porque la mayoría de sus amigos se habían suicidado.
Ellos cantan
en guaraní, una lengua que se está perdiendo porque las propias familias dejan
de hablarles a sus hijos pensando que esto les podría acarrear problemas pero
en realidad, es que sin saberlo, fomentan que las raíces y la cultura se
olvide, algo que no debería ocurrir.
Estas letras
hablan sobre las expulsiones de la tierra, el racismo … un camino que sirvió y
sirve para dar voz a su sufrimiento y desconsuelo.

Cada canción
es dedicada a cada amigo perdido en el camino y quieren que este trabajo y
reivindicación sirva para fortalecer a su tribu rompiendo todo tipo de
barreras.
Yo he estado
viviendo en diferentes países de Sur América pero hay algo que no terminé de
entender y es , ciertamente, el aspecto racial que existe. Todos , de una
forma u otra, tienen raíces indígenas o
la gran mayoría pero intentar mimetizarse en la ciudad o aparentar que no son
“tan” indígenas para ser aceptados en la sociedad a la que pertenecen con más
derecho que nadie pero esa minoría “blanca” sigue teniendo la fuerza de
imposición contra ellos. Sigue detestándolos, sigue utilizándolos como mano de
obra barata, haciéndoles creer que les hacen un favor pero que siguen corriendo
una cortina tupida para que una vez se usan que no se vean más.
La cultura y
las raíces nunca deben perderse, es parte
de nuestra identidad y personalidad, si ello, perderemos parte de
nuestra esencia y eso no debería ocurrir
porque en ese punto empieza la invisibilización personal y cultura.

RAP: the savior of suicide in some Brazilian
villages
We know,
unfortunately, that violence has increased in
Brazil and in some other South
American countries. There seemed to be a truce but it lasted. Today we will
talk about the Guarani-Kaiowá tribe, the second largest indigenous ethnic group
in the country (45,000 people) and a rap duo Brô MC. For more than 70 years
this ethnic group hopes to recover their land but also a job to support their
families and, most importantly, to stop being invisible to their State. And
this duo create their sounds with lyrics in Guaraní. In this tribe the suicide
rate is very high, it is the tribe with the most suicides in the world. Between
2000 and 2014, 717 people lost their lives. A weekly death and double that of
the rest of the tribes and seven times more than the average of the country.
If we talk
about the reasons each person will give their reasons but the summary is
misery, loneliness, drugs and violence.
The idea came
from one of his professors who proposed to do a creative work to explain his
own indigenous culture. They felt alone and because most of their friends had
committed suicide.
They sing in
Guarani, a language that is being lost because the families themselves stop
talking to their children thinking that this could cause them problems but in reality,
it is that without knowing it, they encourage the roots and culture to be
forgotten, something that is not It should happen.
These lyrics
talk about the expulsions of the earth, racism ... a path that served and
serves to give voice to their suffering and despair.
According to
Clemerson, one of the members of the group, they called them "dogs"
in the city, and in their first concert at the University of Dorados they heard
"The Indians have to be at the factory door, not the faculty" ...
Nowadays, they make tours throughout Brazil and they are the mirror where the
young people of their village look, showing that there is a future far from
drugs, alcohol and violence.
Each song is
dedicated to each friend lost along the way and they want this work and demand
to strengthen their tribe by breaking down all kinds of barriers.
I have been
living in different countries in South America but there is something I did not
understand and it is certainly the racial aspect that exists. All, in one way
or another, have indigenous roots or the vast majority but try to blend into
the city or pretend that they are not "so" indigenous to be accepted
in the society to which they belong with more rights than anyone but that
"white" minority "He still has the force of imposition against
them. He continues to detest them, continues to use them as cheap labor, making
them believe that they are doing them a favor but that they keep running a
thick curtain so that once they are used they will not see each other anymore.
The culture
and roots should never be lost, it is part of our identity and personality, if
that, we will lose part of our essence and that should not happen because at
that point the personal invisibility and culture begin.
