  • Mundaú

    Mundaú is a village in the municipality of Trairi in the state of Ceará. It is located 130 or so kilometres from the state capital Fortaleza.

    Nature

    Most of Mundaú's original vegetation is still in tact. The east and south of the village contain a lot of palmtrees, sugar cane, banana plants, castanholas, mango trees, guajiru and cashew trees. In the dunes there is no vegetation, only cows and donkeys walking around. Mundaú is famous for laying by the mouth of the Mundaú River. Besides this river there are dense mangrove forests. The river flows from Trairi.

    Fishing

    Fishing is the main source of income for the people of Mundaú. All the men sail the sea on jangadas which are rather small and simplistic. These courageous men used to sail 200 kilometres, being away for a week. Nowadays a mere 50 kilometres is travelled to get lobsters and camurupim

    Despite the small size of the ships (10 by 4 feet) there are hardly any accidents, but if they happen heroic tales are dragged out of them that are to be told for many years. The accidents usually involve the gigantic waves caught by tankers. The tankers couldn't see the fishermen since they didn't carry any lights. These accidents don't really happen anymore because the fishermen don't sail out that far anymore and now can take safe lights.

    Chanda

    In Hinduism, Chanda and Munda are asuras (demons) in the service of the demon-kings Sumbha and Nisumbha that the goddess Chamunda killed.

    Llegas Tú

    by: Menudo

    Con el calor de una sonrisa
    Y el perfume de la brisa
    Llegas tú, llegas tú
    Pequeña como los luceros
    Y diciéndome un te quiero
    Llegas tú, llegas tú
    No sé si estás
    Pensando en realidad
    Que eres mi verdad
    Que cada día más
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
    Si todo el mundo fuera mío
    Las estrellas ó el rocío
    Fueras tú, fueras tú
    Y dando tumbos al vacío
    Volaríamos unidos
    Porque yo, porque yo
    No sé si estás
    Pensando en realidad
    Que eres mi verdad
    Que cada día más
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
