In the Capoeira Connection Podcast EP 9, we sit down to talk with Contra Mestre Monkey, Auther of the album Minha Varanda. "In order for people to have a deeper understanding of the lyrics to this song, I have come here to offer a translation of the lyrics myself..." - Contra Mestre Monkey Minha Varanda - Refers to my home, the place I want to conquer, working with Capoeira. Meu Chapeu de Palha - Relates to chilling times after this conquest, I wish to have myself, my home. Minha Massape - Means the mud, hard to cross through, that I shall not forget, the hard times.
