Her name is Madona: the pop diva’s Rio namesake talks about playing with the name and the expectations for the show | Rio de Janeiro

Madonna from Rio can’t wait to meet the queen of pop

Madonna has already arrived in Copacabana, in the South Zone of Rio. Not the singer. The show is scheduled for Saturday (4), at 9:45 pm. But, the fans.

In this case, a fan: Madona Camila Alves de Souza.

Madonna Louise was born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, in the United States. Madona Camila was born on April 9, 1990, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Pharmacy assistant, Madona Camila said that the name with just one letter “n”, different from the singer, was her parents’ wish.

“It was their wish and my mother decided: let’s put it in. I really like my name. So much so that I got the name tattooed on my back: Madona Camila.”

With the megashow in Copacabana approaching, jokes about the name increased.

For now, the Madonna of Michigan has not arrived. The production team and musicians are expected to arrive on Sunday (28) in Rio.

“I asked for an Uber to come here. When I got in, the driver said he couldn’t believe he was carrying a star. He said he would be receiving calls all day,” he said.

Fans from other parts of Brazil and the world are already arriving in the city.

Until the time of the show arrives, the Madonna from Rio is already sure: she will find a way to see her namesake up close.

“I’m getting ready. Even if I spend the whole day here in front of the stage. I want to see her”, said the Brazilian namesake.
