POST FENESTRAS CLAUSAS

 For the first time, I'm presenting my work, offering some observations that I believe will be interesting for those who follow our YouTube channel. This new album features 12 original songs, some previously unreleased and others with new arrangements, plus 3 "free covers," which I call them because they are free reinterpretations of songs immortalized by thousands of other performers.

The album's title, "Post Fenestras Clausas," is Latin, but all the songs are performed in the Neo-Latin languages ​​of Portuguese, French, Italian, and Spanish. The meaning of the phrase "behind closed windows" is evocative and thought-provoking throughout the lyrics and poetry that comprise the work.

Each song received special care in its interpretation in various languages, to faithfully reproduce the sonority of the sung language, the charm that each word, each phrase, can convey to the listener, the sensations, and the feelings. Because this is an eclectic work, I'd also like to enumerate the many musical influences that shaped me and are revealed in these songs and their arrangements. The primary influences are MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), samba, and samba-canção, the work of Sergio Mendes, Edu Lobo, Itamar Assumpção, and the incredible musicality of Taiguara. The Italian "canzone" that marked my entire childhood and part of my adolescence, artists like Sergio Endrigo and Lucio Dalla. Pop, rock, folk music, the psychedelia of the 60s and 70s, but even earlier, the rockabilly of the 50s. In the orchestral arrangements, the influence of Ludovico Einaudi and post-minimalism, the psychedelia of Orchestra Beirut and Herbie Hancock. Finally, the muses, the wonderful women who gave life to songs that have become immortal: Maysa, Edith Piaf, France Gall, Françoise Hardy, and today, Zaz, Mon Laferte, to name only those remembered in this work, with reverence and humility.

One final observation: I'm from Curitiba, and the song "Coração Curitibano" is a declaration of affection, but also of sadness, for this city so mistreated by an economic and political elite that, since the administration of a "bionic" mayor, imposed by the military dictatorship in the 1970s, has completely stripped it of its historical character, implementing a "neoliberal" model of exotic and exclusionary urbanism, expelling the working class from the city to the outskirts and marginalizing the humble, with the sole purpose of overvaluing the areas extorted from this population. They called this a “model city,” an “ecological city,” an example of “modern urbanism,” giving this shallow and unscrupulous marketing false arguments about what was actually done, and continually adopted by subsequent city administrations.

“Socialism is the sun of the future”

Giuseppe Garibaldi (Nice, 11 July 1807 – Caprera, 2 June 1882)

“Protecting animals against the cruelty of men, giving food to those who are hungry, giving drink to those who are thirsty, helping those who are exhausted by fatigue or illness, this is the most beautiful virtue of the strong towards the weak. ”

“I have seen more numerous bodies of troops, more contested battles, but I have never seen, anywhere, braver men, nor more brilliant knights than those of the beautiful cavalry of Rio Grande do Sul, in whose ranks I learned to despise danger and fight with dignity for the sake of sacred cause of nations. How many times have I been tempted to reveal to the world the amazing feats I saw carried out by these virile and fearless people, who sustained, for more than nine years against a powerful empire, the most bloodthirsty and glorious fight!”

In 1882, the Italian revolutionary and internationalist socialist Giuseppe Garibaldi, who fought for freedom in Brazil, Uruguay, Italy and France, died. Born in Nice, when it was still Italian although under French occupation, he is remembered for being a hero of Italian unification, a symbol sometimes represented as “nationalist”, but which went much further. Garibaldi helped build the First Socialist International, fought against slavery in the United States, where he refused to lead the Union armies as Lincoln was still reluctant to abolish slavery, and with Italy consolidated as a country, he was leader of the left bloc radical in parliament, when the traditional left was moving towards liberalism.

His struggle in Brazil was always linked to republicanism against the Empire that enslaved and oppressed the people.

The communist brigades that captured and executed fascist leader Benito Mussolini while on the run were named in his honor. In a few words, Garibaldi was the personification of an internationalist, anti-fascist hero and his memory is an important rescue for today's struggles.

"democratic" guns and bombs

 

... and the world will not say anything

 "We must hit the Palestinians hard…. And the world will not say anything. The world will say that we "We are defending, we will achieve this thanks to the help of the United States, which can easily impose the narrative."

meta = israel = zionism = nazism

 Can you think that your whatsApp information is protected and safe? Think twice. In Gaza, being in a whatsapp group could mean your house will be bombed by "israel" with your entire family inside. Through the "lavander" system, "meta" provides your data to the "israel" army, which identifies your location and bombs your home!

IT'S NOT A MERE COINCIDENCE

 It's the Jews themselves saying: zionism = nazism!

zionism = nazism

"Israeli society is fascist."

 "Israeli society is fascist. Less than 2% think Israel is using too much firepower in Gaza. Journalists try to paint Netanyahu as an aberration. No! That's the rule. That's Israel!" @AbbyMartin

ONE PHOTO: HUNDREDS OF CRIMES!

At the beginning of March, a delegation of Brazilian deputies spent about a week in Washington (USA) to garner political support and try to convince Republican parliamentarians that Brazil is no longer a democracy. They advocate, for example, that the United States pass a law to penalize Brazilian authorities, under the justification of violating the rights of conservatives, and that they impose sanctions on the South American country so that the supposed "left-wing dictatorship" is defeated... This constitutes an unequivocal betrayal of the country itself, since it is a false accusation, propagated by the Brazilian extreme right through thousands of fake news!
