Maloca bocada fubanga

Hello midtown, hello trench town

Some, indeed, all the words in the song like "biboca, maloca, bocada" are slang that we sometimes use. They have their own meaning but are just slang to adjectify something. For example, the literal meaning of biboca would be: "Sanga or ravine produced by runoff waters or other natural causes." But we generally use it as slang to name just about any object we don't know the name of, with a generally pejorative sense. Other words are used with their literal meaning, it depends a lot on the context and the region where you are.
"Zé Do Caixão, Zumbi, Lampião" are three characters of Brazilian culture. The first is known in other countries as "Coffin Joe", and is a "vampiric" character played by the king of national terror José Mojica Martins, a Brazilian filmmaker. The second, Zumbi Dos Palmares, was a slave leader of a quilombo (community where the slaves who resisted slavery or their remnants lived). He was the last of the leaders of Quilombo Dos Palmares, the largest at the time of imperial Brazil. The last was a cangaceiro leader, considered the greatest cangaceiro in Brazil. Cangaceiros are men who are heavily armed, in groups, looting and robbing generally in the northeast region of Brazil. Lampião became a cangaceiro to avenge the persecution of his family and the death of his father, he was considered a thief by some and by others, a hero.

I loved this album! If you want to check out more of Max's work check out nailbomb, cavalera conspiracies, obviously you know soulfly, killer be killed (members of mastodon and dillinger escape plan) and his sons band go forth and die. He jokes about other bands get home sick, he gets tour sick. He loves touring. His favorite shows are thr dingy hole in the wall venues because those are the real fans. I met him and Igor during the soulfly and havok tour. My buddies band the summoned opened for them and max promoted them on liquid metal during his week long take over of that channel. Super nice guy. I've never read or even heard a bad rumor about him. This is also the album Johnathan Davis said sepultura ripped off his style.

As to the song itself: "The song’s title references the city of Rata Mahatta, a traditional marketplace in Rajasthan, India, which serves as a symbolic representation of resistance against domination and exploitation." (taken from the "oldtimemusic" site)
Even if you don't know this, or don't speak portugese, after watching the video it's becoming clear, that song is about "civilization", brought by colonists, invading local culture and destroying it by introducing well known, negative aspects of such civilization (as you can see a prostitute, or a drunkard living on the street). So basically, the song is like a call, saying "respect your roots, your own tradition and heritage and your ethnical integrity, don't ever forget about it". Not to mention, that the song comes from album, named "Roots"...
I saw notification on my phone, saying something about Sepultura, and I was like "please, let it be Ratamahatta!"😄
Never was a big fan of theirs, so it's not like I know their works, but I love that song (and generally songs from the "Roots" album). I have this folder on my phone I've named "Lost & Found", where I keep random songs, from very different artists and totally different time periods - so "Louis Armstrong" is right next to "Linkin Park", "U2" next to "Ultravox" and so on. The only common thing is "epicness" of each track, that made it "evergreen" - at least to me.
I keep whole discographies of particular artists on my phone, well above 100 GB of music (currently 7931 tracks, precisely), but this folder is probably the one I listen to most often. I also have similar folder for music videos, and the video for "Ratamahatta" is there too. I"m playing it quite often, while commuting to work.
But Sepultura and nu-metal? Nah, they were shredding long before that era.
2:10 "Never talked about". What can I say, I'm a bit of a recluse myself.

Sepultura was before Nu Metal and what you're identifying as funk are basically brazilian rhythms that, if you go far back enough, have the same origin in Africa as the rhythms found in funk.
