“The show was strong, I’m here digesting this moment. The events and all this emotion of being back on stage together with Augusto and everyone who was there. I’m trying to understand what happened. I knew it was going to be strong. Even for Astrological reasons. I study this. We had a great alignment of the sign of Taurus. This has a technical aspect. .

I didn’t choose it! When the date appeared, I saw that we were being called to the front. It was even bigger than I expected. The result was greater. We had very little time to rehearse. It was four days together. Getting band rapport only happens by playing on stage. There’s no other way. It was a blow we had with Sandro. I respect Sandro’s courage and the competence he faced in being the frontman.

The result was far beyond what I expected. I’m here thinking and reading things. Listening to the testimonies. I see there is a controversy with Humberto Gessinger. I want to clarify that he is minding his own business. He continued on the road. Those years that we were away he was here. He has the right to play as he pleases. I would do the same. He’s reinventing himself, making new music. That’s what he really has to do, there’s nothing wrong. Does he deny the past? I’ve never seen him do that.

It’s great, if he makes new versions, we’re making the classic. There is room for everyone in this immense void. The two proposals can coexist. Better yet, there will be two shows. People’s reactions surprised me. I didn’t imagine this emotion, I was even amazed. Why is everyone so emotional? First, I see the issue of reconciliation as important. It is essential at this moment. We are artists in the showcase and we set this example.

The divisions that have been created and thrown at us make people stop talking and spending time with friends and family. Moving away because of ideas. We are entering a new era. There’s virtual reality and the idealism of humanity today. People give ideas greater importance than is appropriate. Ideas are something that passes my brother! He understands? Years from now, those of us who are still alive will look at these ideas we debated today and laugh in our faces.

You can be absolutely sure. This has always been like this! What political and social ideas were in force when the classic works were made? Nobody remembers. Suddenly Licks and I were there together again. It is us! Let’s laugh about these things up front. I see that we are living in a time of deconstruction of people’s references. Family, cultural and religious. People are somewhat disoriented. Desperate for references. They want to hear the music they listened to when they were young.

They started dating listening to these Engenheiros songs, which transcend generations. Everybody likes! They didn’t have walls or fences, they were just starting to be built. Today the iron curtain has been turned! It’s the Berlin Wall in everyone’s mind. We are getting through, thank God. There’s no need for controversy. It won’t be like Pink Floyd. The fight for the bigger ego. We’re not old enough for that. The world is already full of this. We are here to bring unity.”
