| This song is in fact a tribute to Chico Mendes. "He was a Brazilian rubber tapper, unionist and environmental activist. He fought to stop the logging of the Amazon Rainforest to clear land for cattle ranching, and founded a national union of rubber tappers in an attempt to preserve their profession and the rainforest that it relied upon. He was murdered in 1988 by ranchers opposed to his activism". (wikipedia) I knew little of Sepultura prior to the release of this album. My first copy of this album was a re-recorded tape with mediocre sound quality which I got through a friend of mine who disliked "noisy death metal". I was hooked on 1st listen, & while I had given many of the tracks a repeated listen, Ambush was the standout. It got 10 plays, easily. There is such ferocity packed into within the brevity of this song, both musically & lyrically. The guitars, the drums, the tribal jam, the gunfire, the rhythm... I can remember deciphering the lyrics, saying "is he talking about the destruction of the rainforest"? I felt so surprised and yet so empowered - It was so heavy and yet it had something real to say - This music was important. | |
