"From the depths of the dark solar heart of the southern hemisphere, from inside a mix of races that constitutes neither a degradation nor a genetic utopia, ... from the island of Brazil ever floating barely suspended above the real ground of America, come these words....serving to bear witness and to ask why certain relationships exist between different groups, individuals, artistic forms, commercial transactions, and political forces." By Caetano Veloso, Brazilian musician, from Tropical Truth - a Story of Music & Revolution in Brazil
