31	* Myth/AfricanMythology: The album is named for two African deities present in Afro-Brazilian religions:
32	** Ogum, a male [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orisha orixá]] (spirit) of Yoruba origin present in Candomblé, Umbanda and Quimbanda, which presides over metal workers and craftsmen.
33	** Xangô, another male orixá of Yoruba origin, who presides over virility, justice and lightning.
34	* AlbumTitleDrop: Not an exact title drop, however, "Filhos de Gandhi" does name drop the two deities the album is named after in its lyrics:

36	Todo o pessoal\
37	Manda descer pra ver\
38	Filhos de Gandhi''

43	Filhos de Gandhi''
