So I'm back to Berlin since exactly 2 weeks. It seems there is some strong vibration here which prevents me to definitively change the date of my flight ticket back to Rio. I actually changed it 3 times already and I feel really sad to have to leave sunny Berlin with its tons of unique peoples from all over the world riding happy their bikes on the streets as nothing else would matter. And also there are some aphrodisiac atmosphere here, which makes the german capital even more interesting specially when the sun is shinning. And, well, three angels will live without Charlie this summer, unfortunately. ): But life goes on still under the line of the Ecuador and Charlie will be back soon!
Long time no write. Well I was quite busy lately and moving back to Brazil temporarily, so I couldn't write here as I used to do. But now I'm back and pretty happy to post these news (again) about a big friend of mine and the inspiration of my documentary: MAESTRO SANY PITBULL
Above you can see the leatest international news concerning his european tour. It's an article published today in the finnish newspaper NYT-LIITE regarding his appearence tonight in Helsink at the club REDRUM, whose party is promoted by Timo Santala.
Sany, who is a resident Dj at favela Cantagalo in Rio de Janeiro, is since 7h March in Europe for the third time. And this time he starterd the tour performing at one of the biggest and well-known clubs in London, the famous Fabric. Here you can see what my friend Sany made with "We are your friends" of Justice in a live-remix with his MPC during the set at Fabric:
SICK!!!!!
And if you happen to be in one of those european cities, d'ont miss the chance to see him. Check out his tour schedule here:
Two great funk carioca acts have been hittin` some european music festivals lately. One of them is the Favela Funk Mcs which consists of Bani Silva aka Mc Dilan Djam and the 18 years-old talented beauty Natalia aka Aguia Morena. Both come from Rio and live in Munich, Germany. Favela Funk Mcs exists from January 2006 and now they are embracing the world: they gave a great performance at the last "New Attraction Festival" in Groningen, Netherlands, that you can see a bit here:
Their hot live-perfomance will take place again on next September 1st in Berlin during the "Baile Funk Im Kino Babylon" venue. Will post more infos about that soon...
The other act I was talking about was the maestro (he again!) Sany Pitbull and the funk carioca live legend Mc Duda do Borel at the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. Pori is one of the most respected and famous jazz festivals in Scandinavia. Sany and Duda made 4 (!) gigs in the same festival before leave to Stockholm. Some people said that the performances were increadible good. Here you can see and feel a bit how it must have been there:

They drove the finnish audience crazy!

And what would say some funk carioca oppositors about that? Probably things like: "Funk (Carioca) cannot be considered as "music" (lol), its Mcs are illiterates,whom cannot sing at all and this kind of stupid stuff." So imagine if they would...
