Tim Maia released ‘Chocolate’ after an invitation from the National Association of Cocoa Producers (ANPC)
After releasing the acclaimed first studio album, with hits like “The Discoverer of the Seven Seas” It is “I liked you so much,” Tim Maia it didn’t take long to release another hit. “Chocolate” came to the world in 1971, but its meaning can go far beyond sweet – and nothing better than world chocolate day to remember this story.
As she had a successful career, Maia even received several invitations for advertisements, as well as appearances on television and composition of jingles for commercials. Then, National Association of Cocoa Producers (ANPC) invited an artist to produce a song to be used in a campaign for chocolate.
Second Girls in Green, Nelson Motta recalled in the biography Vale Tudo – The Sound and the Fury of Tim Maiaas the singer accepted the idea of ANPC. However, the “chocolate” in the song may not refer to the candy, but to hashish, marijuana resin.
It is worth remembering how the Syndic himself spoke openly about the legalization of cannabis in Brazil, and even did so on a television program. Tim Maia has never publicly revealed about the meaning of “Chocolate,” but there are some margins of interpretation.
