Madonna‘s “Batuka” is a politically-charged track in the style of the Batuque, created by women in Cape Verde: according to the video, “some say the birth place of slave trade.” 

The percussion-heavy, call-and-answer style song is passionately sung by Madge. When she sings,

“Get that old man/Put him in a jail

Where he can’t stop us

Where he can’t hurt us”

–it’s not that hard to guess to whom she is referring.
