Yanomami e Nos / Curi Curi - Milton Nascimento&River Phoenix

"Bau Meteoro" by Yanomami people
"Yanomami and US" music and lyrics by Milton Nascimento
"Curi Curi" poem and narration by River Phoenix:

"When all our jungle friends sleep, we work against stream, against them, so when they wake, they´re damned like the river, mother´s blood line, until we have completely stripped them of their song, dance, prayer and language, then we place it with ours, how do we say : "Oh, so sorry. Let us explain. You must know, this is the real world. It´s good business, demolition, it´s progress, development, my pocketbook, evolution´s sake."
You see, they don´t need our language to know we´ve sold them down the river and franchised our own souls. Listen !"
