2018 was the breakthrough year for Conan Osíris, a great example of a fringe artist completely taking over the mainstream media. The persona brought an innate queerness that was not necessarily about (or exclusive to) the sexual realm: the lyrics mentioned Pokémon, there were thorough references to Portuguese culture and history, the musical tapestry consisted on many intermingled layers of electronic, «low culture» (eg. estética carrinhos de choque).
A chicha bóia
E a clarabóia da caraça se abre ali
Se água afaga
A mágoa afoga, alaga
Eu mereço mergulhar contigo ali
Nessa praia
Batatas, douradinhos
E que nunca, nunca mais caia o sol
Nessa praia
Um bongo e uns bolinhos
Uma sandes de carne assada e um rissol
E mais nada
A delightful example of the richness abound in the fringes of the mainstream. Shortly after the release of the record, I got a lucky chance for an e-mail interview.
