Shows continue

The Molejo band’s shows continue and, even without Anderson, the performances feature his “little finger”. “We continued doing shows, he watched some things and talked about them. ‘Wow, guys! You can improve on this, do it like this, it’s cool, it’s cool’. And always in a good mood,” he comments.

“He wants to fight, wants to live. We are all together with him, friends and family, in this chain so that everything works out”, he continues.

Andrezinho also reports that, when Anderson receives visitors, he doesn’t want to “let anyone go”.

“He wants to talk, talk about music, which is his life. How he sees us, he talks about the shows, that his business is the stage, the studio. He also tells us that we can’t stop, that we have to keep going.”

“We need to help him in this way too. As we continue to do the work, we are also helping him and ensuring that Molejo continues working and giving him strength. At every show, a lot of people come close to us to send positivity to Anderson”, he recalls.

“So it’s been great to be able to pass this on to him”, concludes Andrezinho.

“I also suffer from anxiety. Thank God I healed with the strength of these guys. When I found out, I spoke to them. Oh, I have some news here, some good and some great, and they said ‘which one is great?’.
