This famous phrase arose because at first I was very prejudiced against people from the North. At the beginning of the band, there were three bands in the same dressing room, everyone was talking, and a girl asked, “Where are you from again?” We are from Belem do Barra. I got up like I had a contagious disease, I left. And on that day, I remember getting up on that platform and entering like this: “Straight from Belem do Barra. Ah, that’s a calypso. And then came this cry for freedom, you know? Calypso is a percussion, okay? Like foro, a pagoda. It’s a percussion” .
– Guilma
