Geraldo Vandré wrote the song Pra não dizer que não falei das flores (So that you don’t tell me that I have not talked about the flowers). Lucia Mazzillo is a carioca woman with all her heart. She is an architect and was once a professor at the PUC-RIO, Pontifi­cia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro. She gives you an overview on her life in Rio, in which the song came somehow to be the resumen of the interview.

The song has an interpretation on youtube.

Next episode will open the chapter ‘consumable‘. So be prepared!

The Brazilian culture is a mixture. The mixture is the Brazilian culture. Each race is taking care of its roots so it is not to be understood as a melting pot like in USA.
“We don’t have to be afraid of the mixture, it is something natural”
– Marisa Monte, TAZ 06/10/06
