“Mas Voçê Não Veio” (translates as “But You Didn’t Come”) is, above all, a message, a message meant for followers of Afro-Indigenous religions. This “message” is a card up the sleeve, something that invites reflection in its purest form. It’s a message from Pombo-gira (multi-faceted spiritual entity in Brazil) - a message of love.

Presto do Coco sings the truth behind romantic frustration, while Filosofino ties together the tropes of advice to be followed. This combination becomes possible through the sonic alchemy of FurmigaDub, who places all this musicality inside a gourd and mixes it all together as if it were the belly button of the world. The song was selected for the 6th Paraíba Music Festival, making it all the way to the finals.

Furmiga, Presto and Filosofino united the rhythm of samba de coco with the flow of rap, and named it "Macumbarima." And, to define it even further, it’s coco, but it’s also rap—and why not dub?
