Our example is a toada written for the boi-bumbá group Caprichoso, the “blue” team of the Parintins’ competition. The lyrics of this Caprichoso’s song show the world of the caboclo intertwining the native, European, and African traditions. In the song, the caboclo’s dream is compared with that of a bird, a mythical figure in the world of the native of Parintins; the song also presents the “blue Ox” alongside a background image of the forest, the river, the native Nation, and the background sound of African percussion. Like most Ox songs, this toada is a strophic song. The instrumentation mixes the traditional zabumba drum and other boi-bumbá percussion with electronic disco effects that help convey the idea of the caboclos/bird’s dream, while placing the caboclo’s world in a contemporary setting.
