On his Instagram, Fafá questioned the absence of names like Joelma and Gaby Amarantos and criticized the lack of northern representation in the place. “Will the North always be seen as a decorative piece for elite parties? It’s very sad to feel the force of reality hitting us in the face. The biggest music festival in the country has a Brazil Day and puts us out the door. One more once again prove to us that the north continues to be a folkloric item used as and when they want, for a ‘cool’ image. Belonging is very different from using it for convenience. We learned this the hard way, and we demand respect”, he said in an excerpt. subtitle.
In the comments, the singer received support from several famous people. “They won’t erase us. The north is also part of Brazilian culture,” said Joelma. “Unbelievable”, highlighted Alessandra Negrini. “How absurd,” declared Dira Paes. Leandra Leal used the hashtag “Without a North is not Brazil”.
“It’s always this shame, but we won’t stop, we are stronger! But it is unacceptable, that is,” said Manu Bahtidão.”We did such a beautiful job of taking the Amazon to Rock in Rio in 2022, on the ship, with artists not only from Pará, from all states in the North. I don’t understand how they still repeat this exclusion of music from the North as if we weren’t Brazilian music. It’s very sad”, said Aila.
