Rio de Sons

In the city, there is sound. Rio de Janeiro is song and noise. Our ears listen to an old samba playing in a botequim, the "olha o mate" shout on the beach, the carnival block passing in the street, the helicopter overflying a community. Silence does not exist. As we walk through the streets, we are invaded by sounds and noises with which we identify ourselves and identify the city.

Sons das ruas
The symbolic map of Rio unfolds into an infinite plot of noises and music, a mixture that embraces both the roar of the crowd, on game day, and the metallic sound of the VLT over the tracks; the words of order from passeatas and the irreverent slogans of street vendors. Nuances of the enchanting soul of the streets, as coined by João do Rio, at the beginning of the 20th century.
