So there I was, taking a bus for Zimun´s rehearsal, at 10:00 A.M...
all of a sudden two cops corner me:
and I questioned the motive for that assaulting.
the cop gently said: "you really wanna know what´s our deal?"
I said: " I just want to know why I´m being treated as a delinquent.."
he said: " That´s the citizen´s problem, you all complain too much..."
Actually,the beggining of "Zimun" has many different versions, I think each constituent of the band has a point of view of it´s start..
Zimun started with two simultaneous formations,one was me, Ravel, Rafa and "Matéria Prima", and in parallel was another formation with Castilho and "Coiote".
and with time passing that we got to talking about making music together, each searching for they´re musical experience..
wasn´t anything like: "We ride skateboards together and we´re friends", no, nothing like that....
It was, actually a huge life process together...
Cause it´s not seven different worlds, it´s seven different universes, man..
and each one thinks completly different from the other...Each has they´re individuality, and all are respected..
and then this band was formed, today, called "Zimun."
And today still, this friendship, family and discovery continues...
discovery like, in a human sense, overall human.
the guys are.. musical..
like, when we say that we have a RAP band, and people hear our sound they say: "But, that´s not a RAP band..."
this sound affluence comes from this, I think first from friendship, cause we all know each other for a long time...
and second from each one, bringing they´re sound identity...
each one has a personal sound identity, it´s really different, like...
me, for example, I play jazz, I have this jazzy sound...
Ravel has this groove beat, Bizotto digs the electronic sound..
And all are really in to Hip Hop, and RAP. that is the link between all of us...
And there´s the "sample" ideia that I always say that enriches the RAP cause you can take a song that contains...
a sample from "Debussy", and a a little piece from "Genival Lacerda" and last you can have a "Madonna" piece...
the three songs can compose a sample from a RAP song...
and if you research it in it´s roots, you will extend a lot more your musical vision...
We try to...
Mix it all, in a way that it gets musical, In a way that it gets interesting..
I think that it happens naturally...
It´s... organic, viceral,
it just.. comes out.
It´s just, don´t think it, do it, you know?
I felt great to be here, to participate, and the location, right in this region, an ocupation movement that is the "Duelo de MC´s",
The satisfaction is more a consequence of that than to just come to spread our sound...
I think that there´s a great musical scene that erupted like a vulcano
there was already a bunch of people organizing to make that happen,
the event grows, and it´s in this eruption stage...
I think that there are many new groups that are standing out, and make a good sound..
"Constantina", "Lize", "Pequena Morte"..Bands that are really great, man..Rock´n Roll, know?
bunch of new stuff coming up here...
and Belo Horizonte is too, a cultural spot..
even being out of route..
route where things are more expressive..
I think that because it it out, gives more...
makes us research more, makes the sound be more authentic afterall...
a life soundtrack...
my dream is to continue doing the sound I want and live, right?
and so, besides the art, there is this, get it?
what is "Zimun"?
"Zimun"? Is...
Zimun is a sound and skins watercollor,
and through its pores a great strength is expelled...
