Episode 458: Flores Brancas, Paz, Iemanjá

Today’s podcast is about a really brief song lyric from one of my favorite musicians - Natiruts. It’s a song called “Quero Ser Feliz Também,” or in English, “I Want to Be Happy Too.” It’s a beautiful song, which I’d recommend you listen to. In the song, there is a repeated line of “Flores brancas, paz, Iemanjá,” which translates to “white flowers, peace, Yemanya.” I take today’s episode to break down what this means, how it resonates in Brazilian culture, and what it has come to mean to me. It was a lot of fun for me, so I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
