Aidê was the name of an African woman. She was beautiful, with green eyes and a magical singing voice, and could cook. The master of the house fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. She managed to escape and flee to the quilombo Camugerê. Here, she found freedom and kinship with other escaped Africans who fled their captors. Source

Camugerê (or Camujerê) was the name of a large Quilombo that existed in Brazil in the days of slavery. Quilombos were communities hidden deep in the jungle, settled by the enslaved Africans who had managed to escape from captivity.

Vosmecê is an old form of Portuguese that is no longer used.
It was originally used to address people who didn’t have the authority to be addressed as “Senhor(a)” (Sir/Madam). Source

"Captain" Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, better known as Lampião, was probably the twentieth century's most successful traditional bandit leader. The banditry endemic to the Brazilian Northeast was called Cangaço. Cangaço had origins in the late 19th century but was particularly prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s. Source

Licurí (Syagrus coronata) and dendê (Elais guineesis) are types of palm. The main difference between the two is the hardness and size of their seeds. Licurí is much harder than dendê, but dendê is larger. In capoeira circles, this corrido illustrates that the weakest, smallest, or poorest can defeat the strongest, largest, or richest. Source
