For almost three hours Ivan Lins opened his heart to our reporter Francine Alexander at his L.A. home and it was illuminating. "It was exciting meeting him," commented Alexander afterwards, "because I am such a fan. He is very alive, he is just like his music."

We are glad to be able to share with you some insights of the long conversation. "We came to the United States - I am here, Dori is

here, you find you have more people who understand the music. It's not that much but it's much more than in my country. So you have a response.

What we are looking for is motivation. That's what makes us create. To keep going. To keep flying."

Despite all his energy, he would prefer a more relaxed pace to live: "Everybody keeps telling -me, 'Speed!

It has to be fast! Fast food! Fast music! Fast something! Fast everything!

Nobody wants to stop and relax.

Stop! Listen! Pay attention! It's worth it"

cpwa.N.T$

Lins is in love with life and, according to him, he has a natural high: "Sometimes people think that I use drugs or something. And it's not that. It's the voyage. It's crazy.

It's really crazy. It's great. Sometimes the music ends but he voyage continues."

He is also apaixonado with nahire: "When I travel, I take so many pictures. So many, so many, so many. I love landscapes and beautiful views. My eyes say, "Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you, nature."

Thank you, Ivan.

Success FolluideScioPaulo has jumped the last hurdle to become the biggest Brazilian newspaper. Since 1987, the newspaper has been the daily with more copies sold in Brazil.

But until now the paper, on Sundays, had to take second place to a carioca paper. No more. The positions inverted in September, when Folha took the lead with 538,000 copies on Sundays, against 513,000 of the rival, 0 Globo.

In So Paulo, the lead of Folha against second place Estado de Sao Paulo is also getting bigger. From 9% more copies than the Estado, until recently, the paulistano newspaper is printing now 34% more copies than the competitor. Explanation for the success? "This results from our journalism of service," says Flavio Pestana, 29, managing director for circulation.

For those who thought it would take a long time if ever before Xuxa would get her own program in American TVland, it seems they were very wrong. Some other Brazilian personalities, such as Roberto Carlos, were never able to take the jump into the Yankee world. Xuxa, however, is ready to show her stuff in English. And starting in January she should be all over the place, including ABC, CBS and NBC. The Brazilian sensation has taped the first 12 programs from a series of 65. MTM, the Hollywood giant of TV syndication, is handling our Xuxa. For the first shows, the Brazilian didn't leave Rio. They were taped at TV Globo's Fenix Theater. But the public couldn't be more American: students of the American school and the children of American diplomats in Rio. AS WAS MENtAlittiDES Esito

COVER

Flying high Ivan Lins has been in the United States before. But this time is different. He is developing a series of projects, in his new home in L.A.. Is he going to move here for good? Don't even think.

Saudade wouldn't let him do it.

FRANCINE ALEXANDER

"Music is a flight for those of us who create and do music," says Ivan Lins. "Flight. You go to the sky chords, melody, fantasies, dreams.

That's why we're a little bit crazy. It's difficult to deal with musicians because we are in the air most of the time."

These days, however, Lins seems to have his feet squarely on the ground, his energies directed toward the future, while he lives in the United States and focuses on his songwriting career. "r rn making some contacts with agents that work for the film industry," he says. "That's what I'm really interested in d oing - scoring music for films."

He's also adding to a long and successful history of collaborative efforts with other artists. "I'm writing songs for a lot of people," he says. "I just recorded a track with Brenda Russell, a song that we did together.

Utaka, a Japanese instrumental musician, did a song, too. I did another song

for Eric Marienthal - he's a saxophone player who used to play with Chick Corea Electric Band. And I sang one of the tracks on the last Dori Cayrruni album thathe recorded for Quest. And that's it. I'm here to be involved with Brazilian, international, and American musicians and artists, writing songs or performing on their albums - doing music. You know, that's what I love to do."

Since July, Lins has been living in Los Angeles, a city that has been his yearly host for the past ten years. "It's like my second country," he says. "I feel like I'm at home here. I know a lot of people and I'm feeling very welcome here."

But this doesn't mean an indefinite stay. "I miss my country, really," he says. "I think that I have a mission. I think that I'm not in the United States to stay forever. It's for a while. I know that. Maybe it's like the poet Caetano Veloso says in one of his songs, it's a very old song, 'Eu nib estou indo embora. Estou so preparando a hora

de voltar.' ('I'm not going away, I'm preparing my way back.') I think that the mission started with the record company, because it's a really wonderful project."

In January 1992, Lins, his long-time lyricist Vitor Martins, and producer Paulo Albuquerque started the record company Velas, in Brazil. "It's a very different company," says Lins, "the way we deal with music. It's very democratic. We want to preserve the dignity, the honor of music. We want to treat music the way we think it has to be treated. With respect. It's something that really starts me thinking of my country. All the time. I know I'm not staying here forever."

To date, Velas has released three albums, the first perhaps the best proof of the company's commitment to taking risks in order to promote music it believes in. "The first one was Guinga," says Lins, explaining how the company came into being. "He's not a new composer - he has 25 years in music but he's a dentist. He's a really special

NEWS from BRAZIL 84 - DECEMBER 1992- P e 3

COVER composer. We listened to the songs he played at a party at a friend's house one night, and we got so crazy, we said, 'Oh, come on, this has to be recorded.

We need to put this on an album.'

And we decided to start the company just to release this music, because nobody else wanted to do it. Record companies were saying, 'It's too complicated. People aren't going to understand.' But Brazil has to listen to this stuff. We cannot leave music caged in a room, at home on this guy's cassettes.

So we started a record company just to release that album. What madness!"

VERY ECLECTIC Lyrics for Guinga's compositions were written by Aldir Blanc, who until three years ago wrote for Joao Bosco.

The album, entitled Simples e Absurdo, features artists such as Chico Buarque, Leny Andrade, and Renato. Lins also sings a track on the album.

"It's not easy music," he says. "It's a mix of Gershwin, Pixinguinha, Tom Jobim with Villa Lobos, Radames Gnatalli. Guinga mixes very traditional music, music with very strong Brazilian roots, with modern and classical composers. And the result is very unusual. It's very beautiful. It's very different. It's for people who really are accustomed to listening to music."

Lins and Martins's enthusiasm for the album extended to doing the distribution themselves. "The distribution was very difficult because we didn't want to deal with record companies at all. No distribution, nothing, nothing, nothing. No connections at all. So we started to do it by ourselves. Door-todoor selling. Crazy. We started to call the main office [of record chains], using our names. 'This is Ivan Lins and Vitor Martins. We've started a record company. We've just released this guy called Guiriga...' That's what it was like. Door to door."

And with that experience, the company was underway. "We started the company," Lins recalls, "and we went, 'Wow, one album and we're a record company. What are we going to do now? Well, let's go on. Let's do more." Two more albums were released on the Velas label, Leny Andrade Canta Cartola, a complete album of songs by the traditional samba composer from Mangueira, and Lins's most recent album, Awa Yio, released last

year here in the United States.

"And now we have an office in Sao Paulo with 20 people working for us," says Lins. "Now it's a record company, really." And the future of the company looks bright, with the good fortune of an association with Lintas MPM, a major Brazilian advertising company that is taking care of promotion and marketing. " We plan to record a lot of people. We have a list, but we are going carefully because the economic situation in Brazil is bad."

Among those on the roster, southern Brazilian artists Geraldo Flach and Luis Carlos Borges, Edu Lobo, and a group of percussionists called Bata Coto.

The partners plan to bring Velas to the United States in the future. "So we are in contact with some labels here for instrumental music," says Lins, "telling them that if they don't have people representing them in Brazil, we want to represent them. And after that, we plan to do it the other way, to produce Brazilian music, music from Argentina, or from South America, for the American market and Japan. That's where my life is directed. It's not always writing, but the future. That's something that's going to be an important part of my life. Producing."

Lins's plans for the United States also include a college tour that he would like to schedule to coincide with the World Championship Soccer matches, which will take place here in 1994. "I think a college tour could be really helpful in promoting Brazilian music," he says. "I want to use video to deal with the issues of my country, not like postcards. I want to show through the music the Brazil that is the real Brazil to mix images of nature with people's attitudes. That'smore interesting. How the people look, what they think and how they feel about everything. Political things. The great moments we had.

That's what I want to show."

He is especially dedicated to drawing young people's attention to their own political power. "I'd like to show to the young people in the United States what the young people in Brazil are doing. They have to know what they did with the impeachment. Day by day, the students pushed and pulled the rest of the society to the streets.

They really did it. That's something that is very good to show here. Because power is afraid of the youth.

Politicians, all of them, have sons and

daughters, and it's crazy when they see that their sons, their daughters are thinking differently, asking for a better life, for things they are not doing. Or when they have rabopreso (tail attached), as we say in our country. So that's why the youth is very strong and doesn't know it. But they have to know. In our country now, I think that they know.

They saw it happen. They have this street experience. And they did it without violence. I believe in this kind of stuff."

TIME FOR A BREAK Anyone who has seen Lins perform live will hope that his concert plans in the U.S. will extend beyond the college campus. He has already appeared at the Hollywood Bowl and at a showcase spot in Santa Monica, At My Place. Lins, however, is hoping to take advantage of this time for a welldeserved break.

"Performance is okay," he says, "but I can't see myself performing for the rest of my life. I think I have five more years, that's all. I did it so much in Brazil. In Brazil you have to, REALLY. You can't stop. Because we have inflation. If you stop, your money -whew. Where's the money? Gone. So we had to work. I worked twenty years straight, almost nine months a year on the road, performing, performing, performing. It's exhausting.

What I really like to do most is to write songs. I love to be in my studio and start to play and sing, and record it.

COVER

Create my songs. Working at home it's so good."

Lins is now composing music for his next album. "I'm in love with the songs," he says. "They're still incomplete, but I'm in love with them." He takes his inspiration from the things he loves in life. "It comes from the environment, from nature, the birds, the animals, mainly the birds. I love birds.

And it comes from love, my wife, my children. I have five kids, all teenagers, all in Brazil."

And as always, Lins music conveys his passion for Brazil. "I talk about my country all the time. I really love my country. I'm very nationalistic. Very, very, very, very. That's why I complain a lot - about the government, the way people are treated, the situation, the economic structure. That's why we fight against the corrupt politicians. Because we love the country a lot. I want it better. It deserves to be better. The Brazilian people deserve a better future. And I'm not going to stop saying those things in my songs.

We talk about love, but we talk about Brazil, about hope and what we can do to make it better."

Lins says he always writes a song knowing its meaning, and explains what he wants the song to say when he plays his music for his partner, Vitor Martins. "I know what the lyric is going to say. I know exactly what I was seeing. I'm always seeing something.

I always tell Vitor what it's going to be about. And he does it, beautifully.

That's the way it works. Because he understands me," says Lins. "He knows me, as well as anyone. And we have very sirnilarideas about life, about country, politics, spirituality."

Martins is now working at Velas in Brazil. "He's heading the company," says Lins. "The company is Vitor, basically. He's doing almost everything. He has worked in record companies before, so he understands a lot.

He worked at RCA for a long time, and he worked at Continental. He worked in music publishing. He knows how to do it. He's very honest. It's important.

He wants to do it right. So I'm going to take a tape of all my stuff to Brazil and I'm gonna give him a copy of it. 'Here's what I did. A lot of stuff.' So he can start to write."

Currently, Lins is looking for a record deal for the release of the album he is in the process of composing. He has left Warner Brothers' Reprise label, which released his last two albums in the United States, Love Dance in 89 and Awa Yi6 last year. "I don't have anything against them," he says, "but I think the format of the company is for pop music. That's what they really know to work. So it's not the right company for my kind of music. I'm looking for people who know how to promote my music. For me that's what matters. I think that to reach people, to make people aware that you exist and you do music, to get them interested in your music, you need promotion and marketing. It's where the biggest part of the money has to be invested."

This month, Lins is in Brazil, touring to promote his own album recently released on Velas, playing music forVitor Martins, and checking on the company. He will return in January to continue working with American lyricists, looking for a manager, and writing songs.

"And that's my life," he says. "I would like very much to get people interested. That's why I'm here. I understand music this way. It's a way to share emotion and feelings. I have a lot of things to express. And I think there are people ready to receive that.

Human beings have to share with people. And I think that music is one of the human expressions. It's the way, the most beautiful way, to me, for man to express himself, to open his heart."

The black sheep of the Linses "I always was a very musical person, but I never tried to play anything.

I was a really fanatic listener and I was a fanatic record buyer. Jazz or big bands, orchestras and big bands. I was eighteen when I decided to learn piano. That's very late. People usually start at seven. I saw on TV a Brazilian piano player, Luis Eca. He died two months ago in Brazil. He's an amazing piano player, playing with his trio, Tamba Trio. And I thought, 'Wow...

That's what I want to d o. I want to play piano like this guy.' And I bought his albums and I started to try and I started to learn by ear, by myself. I was playing eight hours a- crazy. day. The piano was in the living room, so everybody heard. I almost drove them crazy.

People were planning to cement the piano."

Fortunately, the piano was spared, and in two years Lins was playing jazz and bossa nova standards in clubs. He still considered music a hobby, however, his main focus at the time being a degree in chemical engineering. "Music was a second activity," he recalls.

"Not the main. Because my family was very strict. 'Oh, music is unstable. It's insecure. You have to have a profession like engineer, or doctor, or architect.' This kind of stuff. All my brothers and sisters followed my parents. I was the black sheep. I said, 'Okay, I'll try,' but music was my life. After the university classes, I went to the bars to play, or at night I was playing everywhere, arriving at home at two in the morning. That kind of bohemian life.

I was like that."

After a year of playing other people's compositions, Lins began to write his own songs. "I did my first song for a girl I was in love with. She was almost a neighbor, living on the same street, five houses down. I don't think it was a great song, but somebody listens to it and says, 'Oh, it's good,' and you're feeling encouraged.

You feel like everybody's going to like them. So you're gonna to do more.

After the first experience, I started to write songs every day. I was the worst

NEWS from BRAZIL 84- DECEMBER 1992- Page 5

COVER lyricist at that time. Terrible lyrics but, you know, full of passion."

While still in college, Lins got together with friends who started to write songs with him. "And I met several lyricists and they started to write lyrics for me," he says. "So by the time I was twenty-four or twenty-five, I was a song writer. And I preferred to write songs rather than play.

I started to sing just because I was composing so many songs, there weren't enough people to sing my songs, so I started to sing for myself, just to show my stuff.

I was really proud of my music at that time."

Despite a career launching that many musicians would envy, with artists such as Elis Regina, Elza Soares, and Ciro Monteiro among the first to record his songs, Lins has bittersweet memories of the early days in the limelight.

"I suffered a lot when I started my career," he says.

"I was so worried. I don't know if this came from my education or what. I was so insecure about people loving me. I had problems with my girlfriends. I was a very shy guy. 'She doesn't like me.' She's not looking.'

'She's not interested in me."

This kind of very insecure person. I still am. Not as much as I was."

Thanks to a number one song "Madalena," released

by Elis Regina in 1970, and a second hit, "0 Amor ĂŠ o meu Pais," which won Lins first place at the International Music Festival in Rio de Janeiro in the same year, he released his first album in 1971 practically as a gold record.

"I was trying to be an engineer," he says, "so I didn't suffer trying to get my music recorded. I didn't do anything. It was just that I wasn't prepared. My alPage 6 - NEWS from BRAZIL 84- DECEMBER 1992

bum was number one, and people were playing it on the radio a lot and I was on TV every week, and God, it was crazy. And I was a very insecure person. Can you imagine a very unprepared and insecure person number one on the charts?"

In 1974, Lins started working with Martins, the beginning of a very successful partnership.

"We started with a song called 'Abre Alas,' which became a hit in Brazil. Because of the success of the song, we decided to do more songs together. And we became popular, and great friends, and partners, not just in music, but partners in a business, too - a record company, a publishing company, things like that. And we've written so many songs. Maybe two hundred songs together. All recorded." •

have been different for Collor had he allowed the Brasiliense society to participate in the palatial events. By excluding the Brasilienses from the glory of the social columns, Collor also deprived himself of intelligent advice from those accustomed to the games of power.

The substitution of a character of the First World for "a hick with a mineiro belly-button", as Catharina says, will certainly contribute to the transformation of the social columns.

Instead of the Alagoas Republic, it will the turn for the Senate Republic. That's the end of the bride's cake created by Collor. Now is the time for broa de milho (cornbread) mixed by Mineiro ministers Murilo Hingel, of Education; Paulo Haddad, of Planning and by senator Mauricio Correa, of the justice Department.

Another important fact for the columnist is that Itamar Franco, the new president, is unmarried. Besides being further from family scandals, the Itamarati banquets, for example, "will be only for men", guarantees columnist Marcone Fonniga.

Fonniga, one of the m o st requested columnists of Brasilia ( newspaper Correio Brasiliense, Excelencia, Versage) and other publications from outside the Capital, explains that the emergence of so many vehicles exploring the social happenings in the city is justifiable. "To be noticed in Brasilia is very hard. You have to dispute with the president, ministers, foreign diplomats, congressmen. That's too much for the local society," stresses the columnist.

Those who cannot fit into the gaps left by the illustrious people, can only appear in alternative publications.

NEWS from BRAZIL 84. DECEMBER 1992- Page 11

BRASiLIA Those, in turn, have to avoid the trap of becoming a vanity display, not to ruin its prestige before the reader.

The new columnism invests seriously in information. The newspaper columns are more and more politicized, connecting world economic and political facts with social happenings.

"There's something else," says Formi-ga. "The IRS lion reads, daily and with a magnifying glass, about the parties described in the columns.

Caviar and champagne are not as abundant as they used to be."

Versage has been establishing itself as a "social alternative" adequate for promo ting the young businessman, artists, models, or aspiring models. "We work essentially with society, but with a proposal to divulge matters about sports, culture, and education," says Julio Jardim, founder of the magazine.

Although Versage is distributed for free in schools, bars, night clubs and beauty salons, the tabloid that started in June is already out of the red. It is like a bridge for those 16 year old and older, who still cannot shine in the pages of the more traditional publications.

POLITICS

Yes and no Brazilians are going to the polls in April to decide between monarchy and a republic, between a president and a prime-minister.

CLOVIS ROSSI

President Ramer. in favor of Parliamentarism

What'sbetter?Presidentialism or parliamentarism? The answer to the question is going to take up most of the space for political debate the first quarter of 1993. This will be the period preceding the April 21 referendum, when the electorate will choose not only its favorite system of government but also its structure (monarchy or republic).

Discounting the hypothesis of the monarchy, until now chosen only by a minority among all opinion polls, the trend is for the defenders of a position to attack the other side instead of stressing their own strenghts.

There are enough arguments for both sides. Against presidentialism it can be said that the last three presidents (Joao Figueiredo, Jose Sarney, and Fernando Collor) were a failure. All of them left Palacio do Planalto widely discredited, according to popular polls. It's very tempting to say that if a military leader, a civilian elected indirectly and another civilian chosen by popular vote failed, it's the model that doesn't work.

Presidentialists are going to fight back with two classes of arguments: the Parliamentary sys-

tern needs strong parties and a stable bureaucracy, requirements that Brazil certainly doesn't have. They will also say that's nonsense to switch to a Parliamentary form of government after all the popular fight and mobilization in favor of the direct presidential election.

Besides, politicians by and large have a very poor image. A recent poll

by DataFolha has shown that 66% of Brazilians don't trust politicians. Well, Parliament, which would be the government's axis, is precisely the politicians' big club par excellence.

Parliamentarist J ose Serra has an ar gument on the tip of his tongue: "With Parliamentarism, Congress doesn't get more power. All it gets is more public responsibility."

Arguments aside, there is a huge shadowy zone around the referendum.

For both Parliamentarism as well as Presidentialism, there are different formulas that can be applied. Just to mention one example: it's possible to have a parliamentarist Constitu tion with the president being elected by direct vote or by Congress. In Italy, the president is chosen by an electoral college whose members are, in its majority, representatives of the Parliament. But, in Portugal and in France, the presidential election is direct.

By the same token, Presidentialism can adopt more mitigated forms of the concentration of power in the hands of the president. Voting in April, however, the voter will be choosing one of the two systems in abstract, since the details will only be worked through a constitutional revision to be worked only after the plebiscite.

It's important to remember that the referendum's decision will apply not only to the country's government but also to states and municipalities. Both state governors and city mayors will come out of their respective parliaments.

If the referendum had happened last year and Parliamentarism had won, Paulo Maluf, a candidate to Sao Paulo City Hall, wouldn't have needed a second turn, being the leader of the majority in the next City Council.

The April plebiscite is a rerun of the popular consultation of 1%2.

Parliamentarism was temporarily adopted in 1961, as a remedy for the crisis created by the resignation of president Janio Quadros.

Presidential ism won in the referendum of the following year.

ECONOMY facture other brands in the country.

The objective is to guarantee a slice from the pie of consumers belonging to dasses known as a A and B, before anybody else does it. The price of Dove, around $1, makes it one of the most expensive soaps in the country.

The product imported by Gessy is starting a soap war. The strategy to get into the market first raised a question among the directors of Gessy Lever in Brazil. Will the company's image suffer with the supermarket shelves exhibiting a line "made in the USA"?

Examples of similar operations in countries likeItaly, Argentina and Chile have helped convince the Gessy executives that Brazil would accept well the new soap. The arrival of Dove is one of the biggest market coups since multinational Procter & Gamble bought Phebo, four year ago.

According to Gessy, Dove will be more expensive because it is the only that contains in its formula 25% of hydrating creme. Soaps that should suffer immediately the competition are, among others, Nivea, Darling (from Colgate Palmolive), and Phebo (from

Procter & Gamble).

Pedro Prado Filho, 34, juridical and corporate director of Procter & Gamble, estimates that the soap market in Brazil is worth $450 million a year. Gessy is not talking about numbers, not revealing the volume of Dove to be imported or the expectations of the company.

After having implanted the name that has 15% of the market in the US Gessy intends to start manufacturing this kind of soap in Brazil.

War of the bottles Seagram of Brazil is investing $1.5 million in a campaign to re-release Orloff vodka. According to Enio Mainardi,57, president of the ad agency with the same name, the objective of the changes, also occurring in the beverage's formula, is to take the lead in a market that represents $80 million, annually. The present leader is Heublein of Brazil, that retains 20% of the national vodkas, with Smirnoff.

Orloff, the second place product, with

17% of the market, has now a new transparent label with the slogan: "Be Transparent. Be Orloff", that takes place of the old and tired motto "I am you tomorrow". Transparency in vodka bottles is a worldwide trend.

The other change can only be noticed when the product is consumed.

After more than one year of studies, Seagram has changed the formula of its vodka, adopting a blend of cereals instead of the sugar cane alcohol that was being used.

When compared with other countries, the vodka consumption rate in Brazil is small. Americans drink 2.5 liters of vodka per capita a year, while Brazilians drink only 200 milliliters.

Heublein of Brazil doesn't seem worried with the efforts of the competition. The company says the measure should increase the use of the product in the country. Says Virginia Neves, 36, corporate communication manager: "Our consumer is loyal. We area world famous name, being sold in more than 170 countries, with more than 15 million cases of our product being consumed."

OPINION

Striving to be worst Rio and Sao Paulo are always in a competition to see which one spanks better and kills more poor people.

ANTONIO CALLAN), RIO

On the cover of its section "Cotidiano", Folha de Sao Paulo published the other day a brief note about the condemnation, by the Tribunal of Military Justice, of a sergeant and two soldiers who in 1987 shot and killed, in Diadema, Fernando da Silva Ramos, the Pixote. "By three votes to two, the court applied the minimum penalty for homicide (six years) and reduced it by one third, arguing that the police acted in an "excess of defense' . They will be able to appeal while out on bail."

I don tknow if any other newspaper in Sao Paulo paid more attention to the fact. Newspapers in Rio ignored it. Nevertheless, there was a big national commotion when Fernando died. In 1980, the film Pixote, a Lei do Mais Fraco (Pixote, the Law of the Weakest), by Hector Babenco, had transformed the 12 year old boy into the most famous Brazilian child in the world.

He became a sort of Mickey Rooney of our sick society. His acting, as good as that of star Marilia Pera, brought to Babenco's film worldwide acclaim. Not even a severe critic as Pauline Kael, who at that time still reigned absolute and solitary in the cinema pages of The New Yorker, spared her applause to a Brazilian flick so different from the ones she knew, that didn't deal with Carnival, soccer or can3ago.

Based on Jose Louzeiro s romance "Inflincia dos Mortos" ("Childhood of the Dead"), it dealt with this horror that is the life in Brazil of the street children. Babenco recruited Fernando for the role of Pixote, at the Vila Ester shantytown, in Diadema (in the Greater Sao Paulo area), and the boy tried to maintain after the film, the good warmth of fame, of money and of a career in motion pictures and television. But he as unable to do this.

The stone in Pixote' sway was getting bigger and bigger, at the same that he

was also growing too big. Either he turned into James Dean or he had to start walking backward, and that's what happened. He went back to what he was, street urchin, budding outlaw. Jailed for minor offenses, when he was 20, he was chased by three policemen after a bungled robbery as far as inside the shack he was living again, in Diadema.

The policemen are saying now that Fernando Ramos was armed.

But that wasn't the story told at the time of the killing. Pixote tried to escape from the three men, so far as hiding under the bed, a embarrassment for a brave youngster. There he was shot.

The impunity of his assassins leaves me astonished. It calls to mind the famous La Rochefoucauld maxim, "hypocrisy is the homage vice gives virtue". There would have been repercussions overseas if Pixote's assassins had been severely tried, and if the trial had stirred up emotions, even though the emotions weren't that strong. But the indifference, the tedium with which we see the policemen practically rehabilitated leaves me bewildered. Not even Rochefoucauld deserves a little respect from us anymore?

Besides, the judicial pronouncement invoked to deal so benevolently with the policemen is extraordinary in its formulation - excess of defense - and it has also been apllied to the massacre at the Casa de Detenciio (Penitentiary) in Sao Paulo. We are informed that the slaughter of prisoners by the Military Police - be it one man or 111 - is called excess of defense.

I confess that I became depressed thinking about the poor boy of Diadema.

But it is too early for so much melancholy. Last Sunday, here on my beach at Leblon-Ipanema, there was a wave of arrastoes (sweeps) from the north section of Rio, invading the south section. It was a homage to Pixote, I told myself, homage from the Rio shantytowns to Sao Paulo shantytowns. Our two metropolises are always competing between each other to know who beats up more poor people and kills more prisoners. Concerning the last item, sao Paulo is, presently, winning hands down, thanks to the Carandiru's massacre, which along with everything else has its Hitchcockian side. Up to this moment, only one

captain admits to having committed murder, as if nobody else were guilty.

There are, however, 111 cadavers to be explained, 111 Pixotes, since many of them tried to hide under their own cots to escape the nightmare of revolvers and machine guns that spat bullets without anybody pulling the triggers. Or could it be that the expertly trained dogs don't act only with their teeth but also with fire weapons. We would then leave Hitchcock and go to the canine murder described by Conan Doyle in the "Hound of the Baskervilles".

Facing the huge lead Carandiru gave Sao Paulo, Rio, cornered, appealed to its natural riches, its landscape. Every time Sao Paulo beats us in efficiency and organization, we appeal to the natural resources, mainly the beaches. The sea resorts.

The Sunday Opera* Arrastdo was a rehearsal of response to Carandiru.

There were no dead people, that's true, but this is just a question of time.

Here comes the blood and sand of our bullfight. The bull is raised in the North corral, a tad ill fed, but with sharp horns. Our gracious bullfighters with swimming trunks and Cannens wearing dental floss bikinis were scared last Sunday, but they have already taken measures so that tomorrow, if the Miura comes, he will go back to his suburban corral pierced with pennants from barrack wood.

The forcados who in Portugal bullfight take the bull literally by the horns and with bare hands have been mobilized. If he comes back tomorrow, too bad for him, as people say, because the MP sword is going to plunge in his neck as in Spam, up to the hilt. Death in the Afternoon, Ernest Hemingway. •

CINEMA Still getting his point accross: Werner Herzog in the Amazon, directing Fitzcarraldo, and ten years later in Vienna with Austrian writer Peter Handke.

A Conversation in Vienna with Filmmaker Werner Herzog. His memories of Brazil are not all good, but Herzog is still going back to one source of his inspiration.

BONDO WYSZPOLSKI

Although he's made movies in nearly every part of the world, the German film director Werner Herzog is probably best known for the pictures he's shot in the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon: Fitzcarraldo (1981) and Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972).

In recent years, Herzog has also directed theater and opera, as well as overseen the Viennale, Vienna's yearly film festival and the occasion of this interview. I'd wanted to ask Herzog about the German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich (17741840), because I've maintained that the two share a similar outlook on the creative process.

With Friedrich, as with Herzog, we're always on the verge of a visual revelation, on the edge of acquiring an image or perspective never before seen. That mad onrush of beauty attained long ago by the painter Friedrich finds its present-day equivalent in such Herzog films as Kaspar Hauser, Heart of Glass, and the recent Lessons of Darkness.

Unlike Herzog, the global wanderer, Friedrich rarely left Germany.

There's no contradiction because with their inner eye - both have sought the same unexplored territory. My own quest has found me attempting to imagine Friedrich in Brazil, this time near Manaus. Would he be intimidated and awed by the rich profusion of colors, the lushness of shape, size and variety never encountered in northern Germany? I began our conversation by asking Herzog for his opinion.

"I don't think he would be intimidated at all because the Romantic

Still on fire

painters loved the jungle and they loved Brazil, and there's nothing intimidating about the jungle by itself. It's just forest and I believe he would have liked it."

"What would you suggest that he look for? Because seeing something like this for the first time, he wouldn't know where to concentrate."

"I think he should look at the very tiny thing, the minute little things, the ants, some leaves on the ground rotting away. And also, much of the landscape in the sounds. Rain coming down and the birds screeching, screeching of monkeys, screeching of birds. Because that gives the landscape a certain character."

Herzog elaborates: "You can't see when you are in the jungle, because you don't see the skies. You always have a ceiling, a roof of leaves on top of you, and then you don't see very far because the density of vegetation is so immense that he wouldn't see more than, let's say, 7, 8, or 10 trees, and that's about it. So you have no great visions, you have no vistas in the jungle. It does not exist. So the jungle is something different. And Friedrich, of course, always has great vistas, great perspectives and open landscapes, and here he wouldn't have it. But I think he would get acquainted to find the minute things and see a whole universe in there."

"I have some other questions about Brazil."

"Well, we shouldn't speak about Brazil, we should speak about the Amazon rain forest. I actually know

Peru and more the foothills of the Andes, and of course the Amazon lowlands in the province of Loreto.

"It hasn't drawn me back too many times," Herzog continues. "I've done two films in the rain forest so far. But I've done something like 35 films. So it's a minority. They are simply better known than my other stuff."

"What about Cobra Verde, based on Bruce Chatwin's The Vice-roy of Ouidah?"

"It was shot in Colombia, and there was no rain forest. It was more the arid dry lands of the Brazilian northeast, which at that time was very hard to (film) in Brazil because bureaucracy was such an impediment. So we decided to shoot it in an almost look-alike area in Colombia."

"It's been several years now since Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre, and I'm wondering about your reflections with that much time having passed."

"I don't feel strange in the Amazon region. Somehow it's close to my heart, so I understand people there, and I understand life to a certain extent. It' s a very pure form of straight life. Pura vida; pura vida."

The opening scenes of Fitzcarraldo show the opera house in Manaus.

Fitzcarraldo has come all the way from Iquitos, Peru, to hear the legendary Enrico Caruso sing Verd i with Sarah Bernhardt. This is in the height of the rubber boom when laundry was sent to Paris and cigars were NEWS from BRAZIL 84- DECEMBER 1992. Page 21

CINEMA lighted with one-hundred dollar bills.

During the closing act of the performance, Fitzcarraldo senses that Caruso has singled him out, cryptically entrusting him with the task of building an opera house in Iquitos.

Inspired, Fitzcarraldo embarks on yet another of his hare-brained moneymaking schemes: "I'm only doing it because I have but one dream, the opera: the Grand Opera in the jungle. I am going to build it, and Caruso will inaugurate it."

These lines are from Herzog' s own prose treatment, written before Fitzcarraldo was filmed, and published by Fjord Press. In the film there's also a uniformed stationmaster, an unused station, and the barest length of track: the start of Fitzcarraldo's TransAndean Railway- which sound very much like the Madeira-Mamore Railroad, built early in this century at incredible expense and before completion already obsolete.

Marcio Souza's Mad Maria is a fictional account of this Amazonian escapade, this tragic folly, the sort of ready-made material Herzog was sure to uncover and adapt for his own cinematic vision.

"I've noticed that Scream of Stone has been released in Brazil, so why haven't Scream of Stone and Cobra Verde been released in the United States?"

"Cobra Verde" is still a problem because the Dino de Laurentiis Company who bought the rights went bankrupt just a few weeks before the opening of the film, and there's still a tug-of-war about the rights and who is going to release it. Scream of Stone, I'm not the producer; I'm not the distributor of the film, so I don't know what's going on there."

And I had thought that Werner Herzog had formed his own production company in order to avoid precisely this...

But could there be other reasons why Cobra Verde, at least, has not been shown in the U.S.? L.A. Weekly critic John Powers, who saw it at the Berlin Film Festival in 1988, called

Cobra Verde "Racially noxious and cinematically inept.., probably the festival's worst film." Perhaps, but it's an assessment we should be allowed to make for ourselves. The last Herzog film with a theatrical release was the documentary-like Herdsmen of the Sun, which played briefly in Los Angeles in July, 1991.

"Can you samba well enough to win any contests?"

"No, I can't samba. I do some sort of freestyle." Herzog finds the question amusing. "But I could samba well with a soccer ball."

"You were in Rio de Janeiro a few months back?"

"I was in Rio to do A Midsummer Night's Dream. But it was no just Shakespeare's play, it was more like a - how shall I say? - like a happening because the whole building was involved and we changed the lobby of the theater and even the outside of the theater, and some of the stage was growing into the space of the audience... but it was basically theater. There was seven minutes of film shown at the beginning of the whole event - a sequence of Lessons of Darkness. And when the screen moves away and the stage starts to luminate very slowly."

Lesson of Darkness, recently aired on the Discovery Channel, is an original look ("I hate cinema verite," says Herzog) at post-war Kuwait. It is a truly haunting spectacle that should be seen on a big screen with the volume turned way up.

"Is Lessons of Darkness the last film that you've finished and shown?"

Page 22- NEWS from BRAZIL 84- DECEMBER 1992

"Yes, that's my last film. I'm working in a film about Russia - faith and superstition. It's a project together with other film directors from outside of Russia." Herzog mentions several names, including Fellini, Godard, Bogdanovitch, and Ken Russell. "And each one of us makes a one-hour documentary."

What else? "I'm working on an opera which I will do in Paris next year. And I'm starting to work myself into two feature film projects.

One is a project about twins; one is a project about a journey in the northern polar seas."

In other words, Herzog hasn't slowed down since his early films, Signs of Life and Even Dwarfs Started Small. When asked what his thoughts were on turning 50 years old, he tended to dismiss the question as irrelevant: "It doesn't occur to me as anything specific to become 50, because I do not count my age in years; and therefore it has little significance."

In his case, it's true.

At the Vienna film festival this fall, Herzog seemed to be everywhere at once, whether speaking before the audience on opening night or attending a reception given by Vienna mayor Helmut Zilk. By way of contrast, the next evening found him cooking chicken gumbo with filmmaker Les Blank. And the discussions that he led, with directors like Errol Morris (A Brief History of Time) and Peter Handke (Austria's acclaimed writer) were informative and entertaining.

Despite this hectic schedule, however, Herzog remained accessible and accommodating.

Here in the U.S., we don't see his name on the marquee as often as we used to - when the New German Cinema first rolled across the Atlantic - but Werner Herzog is among us still, even now in pursuit of those strange, beautiful images that he seems to find and retrieve from the edges of the world. It's a voice, a vision, that has enriched filmmaking in a way that remains unmatched and unique to our time. •

I was already born with this destiny; it wasn't an option. I was obliged to study music. I studied piano, flute - until I was 15. When I reached 16,1 no longer felt that music was preordained for me, I didn't feel it was mine. It seemed a fatality for me, not a desire or necessity.

So I started to work as a photographer, to do something different than the rest of the family had done. Being a photographer was my first professional experience. This opened my eyes, amplified my vision, enlarged my view of the work. And inside of all this I discovered a new way of seeing music and a new way of making music, which was through the saxophone and through jazz."

Now, with the release of Visions, Gandelman shows a maturity that puts him into a hard to categorize position in the musical universe. In this interview given recently in Brazil to Gerald Seligman the favorite instrumental musician of the Brazilian music critics, talks about his origins, the passion of his life, and Visions.

"It's difficult to analyze my own trajectory. I am so deeply inside the process that sometimes it's hard for me to see it from outside. There obviously exists a natural growth, like within a person. Each year you accumulate experiences and you grow.

This is my fourth record. Obviously I have the security and the conditions to realize a record better than when I began. Today, I've already found my way.

My intention in my solo work is exactly to find a personal sound, and within this comes the mixture of elements, of influences. To begin with, there enters my own origins and my musical formation. Mine was very eclectic: I began studying classical

If you want to be a musician, you want to study in the classical school or the jazz school. There really are the two schools, because they are so complete. Jazz is highly intelectual and helps to form all the facets of a professional musician on the level of harmony, theory, etc., etc., etc...

It was through the saxophone that I discovered that I could create music, because in classical music I was

WHY News from Brazil?

It pays!

Created in April of 1989, News from Brazil has been a respected national link between Brazil and all those - Brazilian or not - who feel a kinship with the Brazilian way of life, politics, economy, culture, and soul. Going beyond the reporting of facts, News from Brazil brings the whys, the hows and thens.

WHO reads News from Brazil?

Since News from Brazil is 80% in English, we are not limited to the Brazilian community. More than 70% of our subscribers are Americans or people whose first language is not Portuguese.

News from Brazil readers tend to be people with a college degree, with a household income above the average.

WHAT does News from Braziltalk about?

The latest presidential act and the World Bank agreement but also the latest Caetano album, what Brazilians are reading, watching and talking about. News from Brazil has always a tasty and contemporary chronicle in Portuguese, three separate Calendar of events for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, and That's Brazilian, an extensive always updated list of Brazilian businesses, clubs and organizations in Florida and California.

WHERE is News from Brazil?

All over. More than 200 libraries across the nation - mainly in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami - receive News from Brazil. These are copies shared by dozens of people. News from Brazil is distributed for free in jazz-clubs, restaurants, record shops (Tower Records, for example), bookstores, and is sold in news stands.

Conversing in

The technique of accelerated learning, as used by these foreign language courses, allows anyone to comfortably converse in a new language within 30 days.

Accelerated learning, developed by famed learning expert Dr. Georgi L07.81110V, is based on involving both hemispheres of the brain in the education process. The analytical (or logical) left side of the brain, when properly activated with the musical (or artistic) right side, both -increases the speed and heightens the retention of learning. Using these untapped mental capacities of your learning ability is the basis of these unique, highly effective courses.

"American Managers with Language Skills Open More Doors"

in modern scientific language instruction.

Best Value! With a total of 30 cassettes plus study materials -and triple bonus!*- this program represents the best' value available today in language instruction. Compared to other programs, the Accelerated Learning Series outperforms them all with twice the audio and 20 times the study material.

To correctly converse in a foreign language, you must understand the meanings and intent of the native speaker. If, after 30 days of listening to these study and memory tapes, you are not comfortably understanding and conversing in yournew language, return them for a full refund.

*Triple Bonus!! ...Order your beginning course now and you'll also receive each of the following in the language you choose: • Two 90-minute Vocabulary Tapes • The Random House Foreign Language Dictionary

• AT&T's unique "Point-Talk Translator"-allows you to communicate in that language by simply pointing at the word in English.

Toll-Free, 24-hours: VISA • M/C • AMEX.

—Wall Street journal Editorial

You will learn your new language as stressless& as a child does, by hearing new vocabulary and phrases in alternately loud, whispered, and emphatic intonations, all accompanied by slow rhythmic music in digital stereo. This perfect combination of music and words allow the two halves of the brain to work together to dramatically facilitate your assimilation of the new language.

The memory tapes of this 30-tape package help activate the learning capacities of the brain. The study tapes are the same proven tapes used by the Foreign Service Institute to train its career diplomats. This merging of two concepts gives you two courses in one and provides the best of both worlds
