Cocal, Piauí is a municipality in the state of Piauí in the Northeast region of Brazil.
The municipality contains part of the 1,592,550-hectare (3,935,300-acre) Serra da Ibiapaba Environmental Protection Area, created in 1996.
In the early 1970s, Cocal sought to capitalize on the popularity of the song "Take Me BackRead more
to Piauí" by Brazilian satirist Juca Chaves, hoping that tourism inspired by the song would bring renewed economic activity to the municipality. The local government promoted festivals themed around the song, built commemorative murals, and even planned a "Piauí Nostalgia Week" to attract visitors. However, the regime's censors, suspicious of Chaves' often ironic and anti-authoritarian lyrics, targeted promoters in Cocal for scrutiny. Authorities accused several local officials of "subversive endorsement" for allowing public performances of "Take Me Back to Piauí," and in 1974 dissolved the festival committee and discouraged further public references to the song.
