    protests have been relatively quiet here in Brazil, although a few groups have gone out to protest the fascist president's supporters. A big part of the antifas here come from football crews, who are used to fighting cops on a regular basis and know the cops here are friends of the nazis.

    Still, despite the tiny groups of antifa who showed up on a sunday afternoon, São Paulo cops are so convinced people want to tear down a hideous statue of one of the country's founding genocidal fathers that they've been guarding it 24/7 for over a week now:




    not that it shouldn't be torn down, but you would need at least a bulldozer or some dynamite to do it

    A Cor do Som was formed by people who had worked with Pepeu Gomes and Moraes Moreira, among others, and it borrows heavily from the later Novos Baianos stuff. I don't know that Moraes was directly involved. To be honest, their stuff has never really stood out to me, I always found them a bit tepid. Trio Elétrico Dodô & Osmar is a traditional carnaval group from Salvador, I don't know much about their records but I don't think that's their main thing.

    been a rough few weeks with Manu Dibango, Bill Withers and now Moraes Moreira leaving us. I'm not too keen on his 80s solo stuff, but pretty much every Novos Baianos record is great and that first solo LP of his is just as good. I put it on the other day and it was bittersweet to listen to such a sunny and happy record.

    on the Ghibli tip, what do you guys recommend for a four year old? My daughter loved Totoro, and I've been putting on random Ghibli films that show up on Netflix, but she wasn't that into The Moving Castle or The Secret World of Arriety. I think she'll enjoy Princess Mononoke, but I don't know what else is more on the cute animals side of things.

    another animated film she did enjoy a lot was this one:
