PICS:

"Rito de Passá" (or Rito de Passagem) in the Umbanda (a religion that was born in brazil) closes, celebrates and begins cycles, is a daily ritual and teaches us to live the present, the pains, the joys, the insecurities, the waiting, is a raising of white flags for our own internal war, Rito de Passá are the Orixás in each corner of nature with its vibrations at each stage, In each time, Rito de Passá is the Cry of Freedom of the Socially Excluded by Their Beliefs, or for what they are.

Orixás are the "gods" of Umbanda (and some other religions too)

Like we can see on the lyrics:
"A flecha atirei
Onde caiu, bradei
O céu relampeou
A chuva vai chegar
Meu corpo foi ao chão
Na palha pra curar
Lavei a alma e então

Me refiz na lama
Vi pedra rolar
Dancei com a correnteza
Me deixei pro mar"

"The arrow I shot
Where it fell, I shouted (Referece to Ogum, the Warrior Orixá)
The sky flashed (Reference to Xangô, The Orixá of Justice And Thunder)
The rain will come
My body went down
In the straw to cure (Reference to Omulú, Orixá of cure and death, usually represented by a straw-covered body)
I washed the soul and then

I made myself in the mud (Reference to Nanã, Orixá of mud, who from the mud created the first living beings on earth)
I saw stone roll
I danced with the current (Reference to Oxum, Orixá of the rivers)
I left for the sea " (Reference to Iemanjá, Orixa of the seas)

(We still have Oxossi, Iansã, Obulayê and Oxalá that were not represented in the song excerpt)

Ok, our entry is a holdback compared to what we may send next edition but it's still catchy and decent
