The comment of the artistic vice-president of Rock in Rio
Zé Ricardo, artistic vice president of Rock in Rio, explained the decision to pay homage to various styles of Brazilian music. “The Rock in Rio campaign this year is Rock in Rio 40 years and forever. That’s why we decided to pay homage to various styles of Brazilian music. Styles that we believe have to do with the festival. And new styles that we’re with opening the door to enter the festival,” he said.
Roberto Medina and the attempt to “pull out the bubbles”
Roberto Medina, founder of Rock in Rio, said Brazil Day is an attempt to “get people out of their bubbles.” “We have to get out of the bubble we find ourselves in. Music unites people, unites those who are different. The thing that pushed me to take this attitude in celebrating 40 years was to look forward and not back. (…) It is through music that we can get these people out of their bubbles and make a gesture for a better world. The world is radical, where no one wants to listen to anyone, the brands and all of you.
