Son of Anna Illichi of Yugoslav origin and Catholic, and Paul Mautner, an austrian jew, Jorge Mautner was born shortly after his parents landed in Brazil: "I was born here a month after my parents arrived in Brazil, fleeing the Holocaust" .
In 1948, his parents divorced. Anna married the violinist Henri Muller and moved to São Paulo. Henri George teaches George the violin.
Mautner begins to write his first book, "Deus da chuva e da morte" at age 15. The book was published in 1962 and consists, with "Kaos" (1964) and "Narciso em tarde cinza" (1966), of the trilogy now known as the Kaos mythology.
In 1962, adheres to the Brazilian Communist Party, invited by Professor Mario Schenberg to participate, with Jose Roberto Aguilar, in a cultural cell in the Central Committee.
After the 1964 military coup, Mautner is arrested. He is released under the condition that he will express himself more "carefully". In 1966, he goes to the United States, where he works at UNESCO and works in translation for Brazilian books. He also gave lectures on these books for the Inter-American Literature. Since 1967, he starts working as secretary to the poet Robert Lowell; he meets Paul Goodman, sociologist, poet and anarchist peace activist of the New Left, from whom he receives significant influence.
In 1970, he goes to London, where he approaches Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Back to Brazil he starts writing in the journal O Pasquim. At this time, Nelson Jacobina knows who will be his musical partner in the following decades.
On December 10,1973, the toughest period of military dictatorship, he participates in the Banquete dos Mendigos, show-manifesto conceived and directed by Jards Macalé, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With UN support, the show takes place at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, transformed into "free territory", and results in double-album recorded live. The album was banned for six years by the military regime and only released in 1979.
Mautner releases in 1987, with Gilberto Gil, the movement "Figa Brasil" on the show O Poeta e o Esfomeado. Figa Brasil is linked to the Kaos movement, and aims to discuss issues related to Brazilian culture.

Super mulher
Jorge Mautner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ela tem aquela transa
Que eu não digo com quem é
Ela tem o rebolado
Tem o corpo tatuado
De uma figa da Guiné
Ela tem uma coleção
De animais muito orgulhosos
Lá da Arca de Noé
Ela tem uma pantera
Que ela arrasta na coleira
Ela gosta dessa fera
Pois é grande feiticeira
E seduz os corações
Super-Mulher
Super-Mulher
É de capa voadora
Domadora de Leões
The lyrics of Jorge Mautner's "Super Mulher" describe a woman who is charismatic, powerful and unconventional. She speaks, sings and shouts, and moves around frenetically, giving the impression that she is in control of everything around her. Her sexual prowess is implied but not stated explicitly, creating an aura of mystery and intrigue around her. She has a tattooed body that is compared to a good luck charm brought from Guinea, suggesting that she is connected to mystical and exotic practices.
The woman in the song is also associated with dangerous animals, including a panther that she keeps on a leash. This creates a parallel between her and the animals, suggesting that she is wild and untamed, and maybe even a little bit dangerous. However, she also has the ability to tame these creatures and make them do her bidding, which reinforces the idea that she is a powerful and unstoppable force.
Overall, "Super Mulher" can be interpreted as a celebration of female power and independence, as well as an acknowledgement of the lure and danger of those who stand out from the crowd and challenge conventional norms.
