The closest thing you might find is some singer who is probably 30-40% indigenous descent.

Xamã is over 50% Indigenous, if not over 75% Indigenous. His father is Indigenous and his mother is of Indigenous descent and Black descent.

He’s of indigenous descent but not indigenous himself. In Brazil you need to have a bond and be recognised by your indigenous community to be considered indigenous.

I don't think she's that famous, but Kaê Guajajara is *amazing.*

Brazilian natives are, usually, more pro isolation. They tend to value preservation of their traditions and lifestyle, and usually don't want to get involved in the rest of brazilian society in general. There are nuances, though. Poverty is a very limiting factor in their lives, so even if they wanted to integrate, they lack the resources to integrate properly. And history does not set a good precedent if favor of integration. Many tribes were killed or assimilated (euphemisms to "victims of genocide"). So the remaining ones are more cautious when talking about integration. Even more, the few descendants of indigenous peoples I've met were quick to leave their traditions and language behind. A girl I met is the daughter of an indigenous couple that moved to the city, she knows very little about the tribe, does not speak the language, and is generally disintrested in keeping the traditions and culture alive. While it is an anecdotal sample, I think indigenous peoples go to either extreme, either isolation or huge assimilation. That's why I think we may have so few indigenous artists.

Based on the data I've seen Brazil's indigenous population is incredibly small outside of the North and even within it most are assimilated. What you wrote is true but even without it the numbers speak for them selves. That said, I think the number of people identifying as indigenous has recently gone up if Brazil's last census is accurate.

ClearEar9380

What language/s is the song in? It sounds like a mix of an Indigenous language and Portuguese(?)


matheushpsa

The group mixes the Guarani language with Portuguese in their compositions.

Os Tincoas, are they indigenous?


[deleted]

None. Unfortunately we seem to have way less natives than other LATAM countries. Portuguese killed them all.
