‘To Shake Your Rump is’ — David Byrne Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Classic Tee

“To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.” David Byrne wrote this in 1989, in his liner-note essay for the compilation Brazil Classics 2: O Samba, arguing that samba’s floating downbeat puts the dancing body into a conversation with the ground beneath it. To move with the rhythm is, in his reading, a small act of respect for the earth you stand on. Joy and awareness can be the same gesture — sometimes paying real attention to the world looks a lot like dancing in it.
