Cobra Coral

Traditional Umbanda Classic

Seu Tupinambá,
Quando vem na aldeia,
Ele traz na cinta uma cobra coral

Oi é uma cobra coral
Oi é uma cobra coral

“We are the Tupinambá
A man came into the village one day,
With a coral snake tied around his waiste

Not a coral snake ?
Yeah, a coral snake !”
— Umbanda is a central African belief structure with many branches. It came to Brazil with the slave trade. This is mythical tale set to music.
