The lyrics, Meu Maracatu Pesa Uma Tonelada, reflect well the sonority... The word has weight!

"... It was always atomic Now bionic, electro-sansonic Changing beats in heavy blues In chronic rhythm Trooping all the existing beats From afar shaking and cracking the stops Mutating all the way ahead For the noise is heard far away Bearing the thunderous thud Always right on the wrong way I carry the weight of my sound wherever I go, filling my luggage My maracatu weighs a ton of deafness and asks for passage...".
