🗣️ Adriano: “The favelas.”
Even that word, people always get it wrong. Outsiders, they don’t understand, man. When they talk about Brazil, when they talk about the little kids in the slums?
They always paint a dark picture. It’s always pain and misery, man.
And yeah, it’s like that sometimes. But it’s complicated. When I think about growing up in the favela, I actually think about how much fun we had. I think about flying kites and spinning tops and kicking a football in the alley. Real childhood, not this bullshit tap, tap, tap on the screens that these kids do now.
I was surrounded by my family, my people. I grew up in a community.
I didn’t suffer. I lived.
Listen, I made a lot of money in my career. But how much money would you pay to have that much fun again? You know what I mean?
