Leci Brandao's political career was not anticipated; her mission as a lawmaker has organically extended from her passionate expression through politically engaged samba music.
The song 'Ze do Caroco', composed in 1978 and suppressed for years, narrates the awakening of political consciousness within the favela community and symbolizes resistance.
Brandao states, 'Writing political songs results from my life condition. I was born as a Black girl who grew up poor. I felt the need to express...'
Through her music and political career, Brandao has become a pivotal figure in Brazilian culture, challenging conservatism and advocating for the marginalized.
