The rapper Tarif Moti released the song “Leônidas, o Diamante Negro” last Thursday (20th), a tribute to the star who shone at São Paulo between 1942 and 1950.

Following the impact of “A Torcida Que Conduz”, the musician brought together MC Piloto and the chorus by Theo Reis, with production by Falcão BPM and finalization by Lippi, to build — over a sample of “Pérola Negra” by Luiz Melodia — a bridge between the genius of Leônidas and the experience of the black population in the country.

The song celebrates identity, history, and memory, in commemoration of Black Consciousness Day and is already available on music streaming platforms.
