The walls of Rio de Janeiro around the favelas are a shame for the city and whole Brasil. It..s just the beginning of crazy security madness, that is coming up.
IT..S A BIG HONOUR, THAT IMPORTANT INTELECTUAL PEOPLE OF RIO ARE NOW INTERESTED AND FASCINATED BY MY RECENTL WORK.
IT..S ALSO A BIG HONOUR, THAT THEY INVITE ME TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO THE SAMBA, BECAUSE THEY WANT, THAT I EXPLAIN THE SOUND TO YOU IN THE WORLD. I RARELY GO OUT OF RIO - I DON..T WANNA FAKE NOONE - I AM A LOCAL - MY LAST YEARS I SPEND IN RIOFAVELAS LIKE COMPLEXO DO ALEMÃO, CANTAGALO, PEREIRA DA SILVA AND MANY MORE INTENSLY TO MAKE AN EXPERIENCE, WHO WILL BE STILL IMPORTANT FOR A LOT OF US - THE DEFINITELY CULTURE SHOCK.
BUT SOON I WILL COME TO SHOW YOU SAMBA & FUNK IN RIO DE JANEIRO WITH MY FRIENDS. I GIVE YOU MY REAL OPINION
WHO ARE IMPORTANT BRASILIAN GRINGOPARTNER?

For a while in my career i thought it..s cool and tough to show, how hot the girls in rio are. But after seven years in Brasil now with three years living in a favela i made the decision to show, how confient the girls here are. How they are figther in daily life. There is a big cliche and the women from Rio de Janeiro don..t deserve this cliche. I do Funkumbia with a Female connection to show some of my favourite female-mc..s.
