The musician Tunico da Vila, son of Martinho da Vila, denounced a moment of racial disrespect while walking in the Jardim da Penha neighborhood, in Vitória, on Friday evening (20/10). According to Tunico, a vendor yelled at his wife and later called him a racial slur, telling him to “go back to the favela.” Dissatisfied with the situation, he claimed that racism was a crime and involved the police.
The accident occurred while Tunico was walking along Avenida Anísio Fernandes Coelho, known as Rua da Lama, with his wife and his pet pig. He subsequently contacted the police, reiterating that he had videos and witnesses to prove the attack. The samba singer stressed the importance of formalizing a complaint and not reacting violently to racist attitudes. “If you experience racism, no matter how much you feel like it, don’t attack it. Call the Military Police, so they can do their part,” he advised.
Tunico posted a video of the situation on Instagram and reflected on the ignorance and prejudice rooted in the offense suffered, defending the dignity of the favela communities. “As if the favela were just a place for drug dealers or militiamen. As if good people didn’t live in the favela! How shameful it is to be an inhabitant of the favela!”, he exclaimed. He also praised the cultural richness of the favelas which, according to him, are sources of learning the poetry of life.
“The racists will not pass!” she continued. “The desire to attack? It also happened… but the divine response and the response of justice will be better than any aggression, also because I am a poet and not an MMA fighter,” he added.
