It has a potency that cuts through the years like a sharp-edged knife-

great work guys,

it's empowering to see so much energy remaining in you

and it sounds very fresh... How can that be?

I don't know, but I'm loving it

From the white kid who saw you in LA in the late 60's and early 70's

[Soxzin1]

Merda is shit in Portuguese, Catalan, Galician and Italian but shit has nothing to do.

[vdsbizarros]

Black Merda is good band, but the name in every country that speaks spanish, portuguese and so long, don't get too well...

[Chicopt1]

[charlottejackson73]

They apparently called themselves Black Merda to draw attention to the police brutality and inner city violence that was killing a lot of black people in the '60s/'70s.

[zoff1509]

[MsBulik]

bLACK MERDA REAL MAN'S

[guntig]

merda is shit also in italian..

[DUDEFROMHELL666]

and in Portuguese!

[vclveasey]

@guntig

They don't care what Merda means in Italian, Portuguese, Catalan

or any other language because they didn't get the spelling Merda from those languages.

It's the American slang spelling of murder as is the spelling murda.

The spelling Murda like spelling Merda is American slang spelling for Murder and is pronounced Murder.

So although the spelling Merda matches the spelling Merda in those languages

it's not derived from those languages.

[luizberger]

@guntig and in portuguese too

[Siouescallon]

@guntig It's too " Murder " --> "Murda" --> "Merda" ... In afro- american argot .

A Great Band.

[OG509]

@guntig In Frech too , "Merde"

[stuartcoyne85]

[vclveasey]

But "Merda" in English is Pronounced "Murder" or "Murdah" It a slang spelling and Pronunciation for "Murder" It's an American slang usage.

It's not Italian or Portuguese or any other language but American English
