Em "Preta Tia Simoa Livre Para Caralho", Blecaute presta uma homenagem a uma figura crucial para a cultura e para a luta abolicionista no Ceará. Infelizmente, suas características, sua trajetória e suas histórias foram obscurecidas em nome da narrativa oficial da primeira província a abolir a escravidão no Brasil. Preta Tia Simoa, embora tenha sido uma das principais personagens na luta abolicionista na greve de Jangadeiros na terra da luz, frequentemente é esquecida frente à imagem de outras figuras como a de Chico da Matilde, conhecido como Dragão do Mar.

[In "Preta Tia Simoa Free For Fuck’s Sake", the artist pays homage to a very important character of abolitionist culture and struggle in Ceará, whose features, trajectory and stories were unfortunately erased in the name of the official history of the first province to abolish slavery on Brazilian territory. Even though Preta Tia Simoa was one of the principal figures of the abolitionist fight during the Jangada sailors strike in Ceará, she is frequently brushed aside in favour of other figures, such as Chico da Matilde, known as Dragão do Mar (Sea Dragon).]
