When there is a child in a family
and someone dies...

LAST AUDIOS RECORDED BY RITA

00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:14,047
If the child's mother dies,
7
00:00:14,881 --> 00:00:19,586
people usually say,
"Now Mommy became a star."
8
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:29,596
Death is not a punishment,
9
00:00:31,564 --> 00:00:33,733
death is going back home.
10
00:00:34,501 --> 00:00:36,436
Where were you before you were born?
11
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:42,308
You went to school,
now you're going home, that's it.
12
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:48,515
Good morning, Rita Lee.
13
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:51,484
Now I'm going to ask you some questions.
14
00:00:51,818 --> 00:00:52,819
Okay.
15
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,923
When you were little,
did you sing or would like to sing?
16
00:00:57,991 --> 00:01:00,060
I never dreamed of being a singer.
17
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:08,902
My father
wouldn't let us do these things.
18
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:17,744
Until my father heard "Ovelha Negra"
on the radio,
19
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:20,814
he didn't give it much importance.
20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,618
He thought that at any moment
my musical hobbies would end
21
00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:27,720
and I would become a dentist.
22
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:39,933
"Ovelha Negra" is a song
that represents Rita a lot.
23
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:44,804
I think this song is prophetic.
24
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:49,642
I had an easygoing life
25
00:01:52,745 --> 00:01:56,182
I liked to enjoy the good things
26
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:01,020
Her parents didn't want her,
a girl growing in the 60s,
27
00:02:01,721 --> 00:02:03,890
to play with a rock band.
28
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:05,692
What family would want that?
29
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:09,696
She would jump out the window
and go to rehearse.
30
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:12,699
I would run away at night
and they wouldn't know.
31
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:17,704
It was like this: my father had dinner
at seven o'clock at night,
32
00:02:17,770 --> 00:02:20,173
and we had to be at the table,
that was the rule...
33
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:22,041
I was already in my pajamas.
34
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,078
He went upstairs and... bam!
35
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:30,250
Underneath my pajamas,
I had my "war clothes."
36
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:32,986
And we would come back
at four in the morning.
37
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:36,456
Minutes before he knocked
on the door to go to school.
38
00:02:38,024 --> 00:02:41,094
Then my dad said, "Daughter..."
39
00:02:41,594 --> 00:02:44,297
She wasn't a rebel, she was different.
40
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:48,635
"You're the black sheep of the family"
41
00:02:49,736 --> 00:02:50,837
"Daughter,
42
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:52,539
you are the black sheep of the family.
43
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:58,211
Now it's time for you to take on
and be gone!"
44
00:02:58,278 --> 00:02:59,345
And be gone
45
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:03,816
It says a lot about this moment
of incorporation
46
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:08,454
of the great wanderer,
of the great artist around the world.
47
00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,090
When someone is lost
48
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:14,794
Trying to find oneself
49
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:16,863
Damn, this girl is singing...
50
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:19,666
I think she's singing to me,
she's singing my life.
51
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:22,602
It's a song that struck a chord
with a generation.
52
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,772
Baby, baby
53
00:03:26,472 --> 00:03:29,075
There's no use in calling
54
00:03:30,276 --> 00:03:32,946
When someone is lost
55
00:03:33,913 --> 00:03:36,583
Trying to find oneself
56
00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:52,198
Brothers, take one.
57
00:03:58,771 --> 00:03:59,772
What's up?
58
00:04:00,607 --> 00:04:03,409
All good? I need to stand on my toes
to hug you properly.
59
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:05,678
-Shorty. Great.
-Then it works.
60
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:08,448
-Ready?
-Ready! Let's go.
61
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:13,486
SOME TIME BEFORE PASSING, RITA WROTE
A FAREWELL LETTER TO HER CHILDREN.
62
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:19,092
Little brother.
63
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:22,195
All good?
64
00:04:30,703 --> 00:04:32,171
Did you read this letter?
65
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:34,774
-You don't know this letter?
-No.
66
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:36,776
-I read it?
-Yes.
67
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:48,921
You were the first woman
to lead a band in Brazil.
68
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:49,989
Oh, boy.
69
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:52,725
Yes, I'm one of them
70
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:55,728
My name is Luiz Sérgio,
71
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:58,865
and because of the lysergic scene,
72
00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:02,101
I changed it from "Luiz Sérgio"
to "Luisérgico"
73
00:05:02,168 --> 00:05:04,203
and I formed a band called "Lisergia."
74
00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:05,305
TUTTI FRUTTI GUITAR PLAYER
75
00:05:05,371 --> 00:05:06,939
I already had Lee Marcucci with me.
76
00:05:07,006 --> 00:05:09,776
We had a meeting at Rita's place,
in Vila Mariana,
77
00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:11,544
where she lived with her parents.
78
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:14,747
We took some acoustic guitars
and started playing with her
79
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:16,983
the songs we had, the things we knew.
80
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:19,986
She said, "I like it,
because there's a good base here."
81
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:22,822
I said, "Cool, so let's start a band:
Tutti Frutti."
82
00:05:22,889 --> 00:05:27,093
Barefooted, why so many questions
83
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,862
And that's how it started.
84
00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:31,864
Rita started to be happy.
85
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,405
I think that's when Rita
found her rhythm.
86
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:42,809
She fell into the four by four,
the cadence of rock and roll.
87
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,977
One, two, three, four!
88
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:46,412
Rock and roll
89
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:49,248
Rock and roll
90
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:51,217
Then Rita Lee became the Queen of Rock.
91
00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:53,953
Rock and roll
92
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:57,223
The first show was wonderful,
at the Ruth Escobar Theater.
93
00:05:57,523 --> 00:06:01,694
We spent almost two months
rehearsing every day.
94
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:03,296
Then we played the first night,
95
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:05,798
and it sold out every single day.
96
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:09,769
We performed on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday,
97
00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:11,671
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
98
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:14,540
It was fun, it wasn't an obligation.
99
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,677
We were doing what we wanted,
it was our dream,
100
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:18,845
the dream of our lives.
101
00:06:18,911 --> 00:06:24,851
Rock and roll
102
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:30,523
PUBLIC ARCHIVES
103
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:34,494
We recorded an album
with material we had,
104
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:37,697
but I don't know why Philips
didn't release it,
105
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:39,832
and that album was shelved.
106
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:42,335
The record label
and the censorship banned it.
107
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,970
CENSORSHIP DIVISION
FOR PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT
108
00:06:44,036 --> 00:06:45,638
When I did all this research,
109
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:48,908
I found more than 300 documents
citing Rita.
110
00:06:48,975 --> 00:06:51,978
I am impressed by the amount
of censorship.
111
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:54,981
"Gente Fina é Outra Coisa"
would be the first single,
112
00:06:55,047 --> 00:06:57,750
so the first CD had already been
banned by the dictatorship.
113
00:06:58,951 --> 00:07:03,856
And their conclusion is,
"The lyrics have an anarchic connotation
114
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:10,596
and its release could lead
to social and family breakdown.
115
00:07:10,663 --> 00:07:14,867
The song lyrics are absolutely
not suitable for approval."
116
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:20,973
Rita wanted the album to come out,
she thought it was nice,
117
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,043
the record label was too prudish,
118
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,511
she got pissed off and...
119
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:28,281
She ended up breaking some things there.
120
00:07:28,347 --> 00:07:33,186
She goes in there with Tim Maia,
who was also pissed off with them,
121
00:07:33,252 --> 00:07:36,856
and Midani, who was the CEO,
wouldn't see them,
122
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:40,026
so they go into his room,
without him there
123
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:41,527
and destroy the entire room.
124
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:45,264
In 1974,
125
00:07:45,331 --> 00:07:48,601
the Rita and Tutti Frutti concert
went to Rio de Janeiro,
126
00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:51,704
and was on for more two or three months.
127
00:07:51,771 --> 00:07:54,474
Mother Nature
128
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:59,679
We already had... The gay movement
was already quite big,
129
00:08:00,112 --> 00:08:01,581
they were our fans.
130
00:08:02,281 --> 00:08:05,551
Rita really won over this audience,
131
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:09,121
with her stance,
her asexual thing on stage,
132
00:08:09,188 --> 00:08:11,357
the David Bowie vibe and so on.
133
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:16,929
Then, there's a scene up ahead
with a record label telling her,
134
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,899
"You need to dress like a girl,
135
00:08:19,966 --> 00:08:23,936
you need to sing silly love songs,
you need..."
136
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:27,240
She got pissed,
told everyone to fuck off,
137
00:08:27,807 --> 00:08:30,076
and then her contract
with Philips ended.
138
00:08:30,142 --> 00:08:32,211
I'm going to introduce
the Tutti Frutti guys.
139
00:08:32,545 --> 00:08:35,481
The guys who do the vocals
and percussion:
140
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:36,549
Beto.
141
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:39,418
Wilson.
142
00:08:40,253 --> 00:08:41,220
Rubens.
143
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:42,855
Lee Marcucci.
144
00:08:46,325 --> 00:08:47,894
Serginho Della Monica.
145
00:08:48,661 --> 00:08:49,795
Luiz Carlini.
146
00:08:53,032 --> 00:08:54,133
Paulo Maurício.
147
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:58,538
I left the band in 75.
148
00:08:58,971 --> 00:09:00,106
And me.
149
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:02,241
Because Rita changed record labels
150
00:09:02,308 --> 00:09:04,977
and the record label
wanted her at the front,
151
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:06,746
it was a requirement.
152
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,981
It was also time for Rita
to be on her own
153
00:09:09,048 --> 00:09:10,182
and do her thing, you know?
154
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:11,851
We had a talk.
155
00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:15,021
Of course it wasn't pleasant
156
00:09:15,087 --> 00:09:16,689
for either me or her.
157
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:18,558
She really became a star.
158
00:09:18,624 --> 00:09:21,460
It was that incredible album,
Fruto Proibido.
159
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:24,430
One fine day I decided to change
160
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,000
And do everything I wanted to do
161
00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:33,172
Fruto Proibido is
Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti's best album
162
00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:36,909
and is one of the best
Brazilian rock albums.
163
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:38,177
Until then,
164
00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:43,816
there was no combination
of music and lyrics
165
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:46,986
that sounded real and natural.
166
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,124
It's here we have "Ovelha Negra,"
we have "Esse Tal de Roque Enrow,"
167
00:09:52,191 --> 00:09:54,126
"Agora Só Falta Você."
168
00:09:54,193 --> 00:09:56,862
It was Rita arriving with her talent,
169
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:59,632
her extraordinary strength
170
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:03,536
full of humor, irony, criticism.
171
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:06,405
Rita's cry for freedom.
172
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:09,275
For all the men who told her,
"You can't do this."
173
00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:11,711
And then she became
174
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:14,981
the great Queen
of Brazilian Rock and Roll.
175
00:10:15,047 --> 00:10:17,750
Now you should come along
176
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,820
Now you should come along
177
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,957
It was the first rock record
178
00:10:25,024 --> 00:10:28,027
to sell hundreds of thousands of copies.
179
00:10:28,094 --> 00:10:30,930
We toured all over Brazil.
180
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:32,898
At the time, it was very difficult
181
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:35,301
because Brazil
didn't have the infrastructure
182
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:38,237
to put on shows for so many people.
183
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:40,673
And Rita went on tour,
184
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:44,176
with a sharp band, and everyone
singing "Ovelha Negra."
185
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:49,815
Baby, baby, it's pointless to wait
186
00:10:50,549 --> 00:10:54,587
We opened the market with baby steps.
187
00:10:55,054 --> 00:10:56,989
Trying to find oneself
188
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,426
The Fruto Proibido tour
was a bit complicated,
189
00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:02,695
especially in Rio de Janeiro.
190
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:06,999
With the drugs, cocaine,
people end up going a bit crazy.
191
00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:10,569
And that was her first
and only overdose,
192
00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:13,205
which was with cocaine, as she says.
193
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:19,345
She was in a hotel room...
194
00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:21,147
Right? And...
195
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:23,349
And she said she even thought about...
196
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:24,517
And she sad
197
00:11:24,784 --> 00:11:27,253
she was held back from jumping
out of a window.
198
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:32,258
I guess the manager
was helping her, giving her strength,
199
00:11:32,324 --> 00:11:35,628
and she ended up getting better
and we were worried
200
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,430
about her on the other side.
201
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:42,735
Black sheep of the family
202
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:45,604
Won't be coming back
203
00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:47,506
I'm not
204
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:50,176
No
205
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:51,711
I'll be gone
206
00:11:56,449 --> 00:12:01,220
I played with João Ricardo,
one of the members of Secos e Molhados,
207
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:04,657
which also included Ney Matogrosso.
208
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:08,194
At the time we recorded
an album called Bandido,
209
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:11,664
which included a song by Rita.
210
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,333
Criminal, criminal
211
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,002
I asked her for a song
and she gave it to me.
212
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,771
The song is called "Bandido Corazón."
213
00:12:19,338 --> 00:12:23,409
Criminal, criminal baby
214
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:28,948
I sent the song and then Ney said,
"Look, I know a good guitarist, Zezé."
215
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,883
I said, "Zezé, nice."
216
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:33,352
"I'll introduce you to Zezé,
we'll do a show
217
00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:35,187
and I'll introduce you."
218
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:37,990
They came to do the show,
and Zezé was Roberto.
219
00:12:42,061 --> 00:12:46,799
And Rita went to see
Ney Matogrosso's show
220
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:50,236
and rumor has it
that she liked the guitar.
221
00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:52,772
There was a nice suggestion there,
222
00:12:52,838 --> 00:12:57,042
he was a little bit Chuck Berry,
Little Richard, Keith Richards,
223
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:00,379
you could feel that his hand
was a hand you liked.
224
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:03,149
I'm from the era of the jaguar
225
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:05,351
When animals spoke
226
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:07,820
Through the National Radio
227
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:10,790
I felt she had her eye on Roberto.
228
00:13:11,657 --> 00:13:14,293
Then afterwards she went
to the dressing room,
229
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,628
spoke to me, said,
230
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:18,597
"Ney, come over to my house
for dinner tomorrow.
231
00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:21,901
If you want to bring
some musicians with you, go ahead."
232
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:24,770
I said, "Okay."
I already knew who I would bring.
233
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:27,473
It was all orchestrated with Ney.
234
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,708
I said, "Ney, introduce me!
235
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:33,779
-Introduce me to that hot guy."
-She made dinner.
236
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:36,582
-She made dinner.
-Yeah, it was all fancy.
237
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:40,719
Her house was very special,
238
00:13:40,786 --> 00:13:41,821
because it had...
239
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:46,659
it was all decorated
in a very magical way.
240
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:48,394
We fell in love there,
241
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:51,564
so much so that I remember,
as soon as I arrived, I sat down
242
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:53,766
and I was wearing a pair of socks,
243
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:55,868
a pair of red lurex socks,
244
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:58,571
lurex is something shiny, silvery.
245
00:13:59,205 --> 00:14:00,739
And she saw my pair of socks.
246
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:03,909
Then I said, "Lovely socks!"
He took them off...
247
00:14:03,976 --> 00:14:06,278
-He took them off?
-"It's yours."
248
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:09,648
I'm from the time of time
249
00:14:10,816 --> 00:14:11,917
I am
250
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:14,153
I am the time
251
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:15,888
They sat down at the piano
252
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:19,225
and the world around them vanished,
it was just the two of them.
253
00:14:19,825 --> 00:14:21,961
And I started playing
some boogie-woogie,
254
00:14:22,494 --> 00:14:26,098
and she started doing the left hand
of the boogie-woogie...
255
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:27,366
HUSBAND AND PARTNER
256
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:31,270
And him...
257
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:35,608
Then we started singing some lyrics,
258
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:41,881
and those lyrics were messages
we were giving to each other.
259
00:14:41,947 --> 00:14:43,916
"Wow, you're beautiful!"
260
00:14:43,983 --> 00:14:46,452
Saying things...
261
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:48,454
Romantic things.
262
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:51,156
I used to be happy
263
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:56,528
I used to be happy
264
00:14:57,029 --> 00:14:58,831
And I knew it
265
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:04,236
And we stayed together to this day.
266
00:15:06,038 --> 00:15:07,039
My partner.
267
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:09,541
The love of my life.
268
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:11,810
Roberto de Carvalho.
269
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:31,063
I play my guitar
270
00:15:32,631 --> 00:15:36,869
When no one touches me
271
00:15:37,469 --> 00:15:39,939
In 1976, they released the album
272
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:41,540
Entradas e Bandeiras.
273
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:44,410
I hope you all come,
274
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:49,381
the name is Entradas e Bandeiras,
for all to dig in and let loose.
275
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:53,085
I fly high with my feet on the ground
276
00:15:53,152 --> 00:15:57,489
Entradas e Bandeiras is an album
that was very successful.
277
00:15:57,556 --> 00:16:01,193
We recorded it, the recording was great,
when it was time to mix it,
278
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:02,962
Rita traveled to Europe
279
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:06,732
and we took care of the mixing
of the album.
280
00:16:07,032 --> 00:16:10,536
And she ended up not liking
how the album turned out.
281
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:11,603
She complained.
282
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:13,639
I think that bothered Rita a little.
283
00:16:13,706 --> 00:16:16,041
I see it as a phase, you know?
284
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:19,511
Not that the album is bad.
The album went well.
285
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:23,048
It's curious, here in the autograph
she gave me,
286
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:25,784
she wrote, "I like 'Coisas da Vida',"
287
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:28,020
because she doesn't like
the rest of the album.
288
00:16:33,258 --> 00:16:36,228
"Coisas da Vida,"
a song that Rita showed me on the piano
289
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:37,429
at her mother's house.
290
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,231
She said, "I'm writing this song."
291
00:16:39,698 --> 00:16:44,503
She herself speaks of this song
with a certain pride
292
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,272
in having written it on the piano.
293
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:50,809
When the moon appeared
294
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,746
"When the moon appeared,
295
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,248
no one dreamed more than me."
296
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,183
It was late
297
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:03,389
It's a song that Rita wrote
when she found out her mother
298
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:06,158
was sick.
299
00:17:07,159 --> 00:17:09,094
Once I get older
300
00:17:09,161 --> 00:17:10,996
"Once I get older,
301
00:17:11,463 --> 00:17:13,699
no one will need to tell me..."
302
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:15,367
Tell me
303
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:17,536
"No one will need to tell me
304
00:17:18,904 --> 00:17:20,806
what it's like."
305
00:17:21,573 --> 00:17:23,108
When it's time to leave
306
00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:29,314
She always talked a lot
about "Coisas da Vida,"
307
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:30,849
that is a very epic song.
308
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:34,586
And everything
she was going through at the time.
309
00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:40,959
I don't have anything to say
That's why I say
310
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:42,861
Facing a life, a solo career.
311
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:48,233
I don't have much to lose
That's why I gamble
312
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,536
"Coisas da Vida" is a turning point.
313
00:17:50,602 --> 00:17:54,673
We look at each other
And don't know if we stay or if we go
314
00:17:57,876 --> 00:17:59,611
That's life
315
00:17:59,678 --> 00:18:03,215
-This is my favorite song by Rita.
-Why?
316
00:18:03,816 --> 00:18:05,050
Because it's beautiful.
317
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:10,656
We look at each other
And don't know if we stay or if we go
318
00:18:19,364 --> 00:18:20,566
One day I was in Rio
319
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:27,072
and she called me and she said...
320
00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:31,477
Daddy, you're a fool to cry
321
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:34,379
And I was a bit...
322
00:18:35,347 --> 00:18:39,885
I understood, but not very well,
but understood the whole thing.
323
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,421
Both sides of Eva
324
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:47,893
Since we were children,
this communication the two of us we had,
325
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,994
we didn't need to speak.
326
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,730
I looked at her and knew,
Rita was pregnant.
327
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:57,336
Cinderella
328
00:18:59,271 --> 00:19:02,574
When the conversation ended
I was very happy,
329
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:04,710
very emotional.
330
00:19:05,677 --> 00:19:08,313
I always knew
that I would be a father early
331
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,582
and that I would have three sons.
332
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:13,352
This is something the saints
warned me about...
333
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:14,653
HUSBAND AND PARTNER
334
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,322
...very early on.
335
00:19:17,389 --> 00:19:20,826
Something I was completely
in heaven about...
336
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:23,262
-I was two months...
-And you were in love...
337
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:25,364
So in love, it was delicious.
338
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:28,700
So I wasn't using anything,
it was that hippie thing.
339
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:33,505
The greatest thing, my God,
the fruit of my womb, a real hippie.
340
00:19:33,572 --> 00:19:36,074
You don't even have to be a hippie,
that's how it is.
341
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:45,117
So, about seven bikers arrived with...
342
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,220
With motorcycles and leather jackets,
and they said,
343
00:19:48,287 --> 00:19:52,090
"We came to get a kilo of marijuana
that you have here in this house."
344
00:19:52,691 --> 00:19:53,759
And then...
345
00:19:56,962 --> 00:19:58,497
RITA IN PRISON
346
00:19:58,564 --> 00:20:02,301
Someone told the police
she had drugs in her house,
347
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,971
they found some drugs there
and arrested Rita.
348
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:08,073
They went to my house
after arresting her.
349
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:11,643
The police went to my room,
I went out and saw Rita with my father.
350
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:12,878
Then we went to the street.
351
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:15,981
When we got to the street
there was a police van, a huge car,
352
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:20,352
the FBI went there, like,
a rock singer from Brazil
353
00:20:20,419 --> 00:20:23,121
maybe accused
of international trafficking.
354
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:24,189
RITA LEE IN FEMALE PRISON
355
00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:26,358
It was a very shocking event.
356
00:20:26,425 --> 00:20:29,294
It was a strange, wrong thing.
357
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:31,296
They planted evidence, they did.
358
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:33,298
They were there, like, "Found it."
359
00:20:33,632 --> 00:20:37,436
We were always very worried
about the police, drugs and all,
360
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:40,439
because we were living this terror,
you know?
361
00:20:40,505 --> 00:20:41,873
It was a full dictatorship,
362
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:46,278
so no one knew exactly
what could happen.
363
00:20:46,345 --> 00:20:49,915
I was released, we were held there
for two days and then we left.
364
00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:51,049
And Rita stayed.
365
00:20:56,321 --> 00:20:58,790
But the causes are not these.
366
00:20:58,857 --> 00:20:59,858
JOURNALIST
367
00:20:59,925 --> 00:21:01,760
They are more political, if you notice.
368
00:21:04,029 --> 00:21:05,530
During the Mutantes era,
369
00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:09,735
a Rita fan was shot dead by an officer
inside the show.
370
00:21:09,801 --> 00:21:11,069
And there was a shot...
371
00:21:11,136 --> 00:21:12,437
ASSEMBLY DESPISES POLICE VIOLENCE
372
00:21:12,504 --> 00:21:16,775
And that human tide moved away
373
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:22,180
and, from the stage,
I saw the body of a boy in the venue.
374
00:21:22,247 --> 00:21:25,250
And around that time, a lady came
375
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:28,153
and said to her it was her son who died,
376
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:31,923
and the police said he was causing
a mess outside the show.
377
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:36,428
She said all I had to do
378
00:21:36,495 --> 00:21:39,765
to bring justice to her son,
who loved me and all,
379
00:21:39,831 --> 00:21:42,000
was to go to court and testify,
380
00:21:42,067 --> 00:21:45,504
saying that I saw her son's body
inside the venue.
381
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:50,142
"Dear Rita, look deep into my son's eyes
382
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:54,846
and see the sadness of a grieving
and suffering mother.
383
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:57,482
Tell me the truth,
384
00:21:57,549 --> 00:22:00,752
it was for you that he died, wasn't it?
385
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:03,488
But it's not your fault.
386
00:22:03,555 --> 00:22:05,557
I will always be your friend
387
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:08,760
and God will reward you for the truth."
388
00:22:08,827 --> 00:22:10,662
So I went to the courthouse,
389
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:13,365
"Where was the body?"
"Inside the venue."
390
00:22:13,432 --> 00:22:14,599
"Are you sure?" "Yes."
391
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:15,901
"Goodbye." "Goodbye."
392
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,705
Days later, weeks later,
393
00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:20,906
I was arrested.
394
00:22:22,874 --> 00:22:25,944
It is believed that this was
395
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:29,548
one of the reasons
why the police at the time
396
00:22:29,614 --> 00:22:35,087
developed a certain antipathy,
a grudge against Rita.
397
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,125
I was pregnant with Beto,
we were married,
398
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:44,062
Roberto was still in Rio,
playing with Ney.
399
00:22:49,167 --> 00:22:54,206
We were rehearsing
and Virgínia called me
400
00:22:54,272 --> 00:22:56,208
and told me that Rita had been arrested.
401
00:22:56,775 --> 00:23:00,145
I immediately got on a bus
and came to São Paulo.
402
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:05,283
THREE WEEKS BEFORE RITA'S PASSING
403
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:11,022
"I didn't know you were coming
to São Paulo on Sunday,
404
00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:15,460
that's why I didn't put your name
on the visitors list.
405
00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:19,064
And besides, I look awful, imagine that.
406
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:23,034
I wouldn't even let you
see me like that.
407
00:23:23,101 --> 00:23:25,804
I don't know what's going to happen
to me anymore,
408
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:30,175
because everyone who comes in
tells me the story in a different way.
409
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:33,145
I'm already getting used to the idea
of having my son in prison.
410
00:23:34,146 --> 00:23:37,182
I want you to know
that I don't intend to cling to you
411
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,050
or demand anything from you.
412
00:23:39,117 --> 00:23:41,686
Besides everything,
you're my best friend
413
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,455
and I'll never forget that.
414
00:23:44,156 --> 00:23:46,425
Please take care of you, okay?"
415
00:23:50,162 --> 00:23:52,998
But there is a whole context
in this letter
416
00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:56,501
that is transported to the present day.
417
00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:58,570
It's a farewell letter.
418
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,783
RITA LEE IS STAYING IN PRISON
419
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,486
A YEAR OF HOUSE ARREST,
RITA LEE'S CONVICTION
420
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:17,689
Rita was tried
and sentenced to one year,
421
00:24:17,756 --> 00:24:21,092
but then it became one year
in a semi-open regime.
422
00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:25,997
So, when Rita got out of prison,
we went to live with her parents,
423
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:31,102
because her house had been
completely destroyed by the police.
424
00:24:31,169 --> 00:24:36,408
It started out in a very difficult
financial situation.
425
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:41,012
She spent all her money on a lawyer,
it was very complicated.
426
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,048
No money, no money, no money.
427
00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:45,984
Then, for a short period of time,
428
00:24:46,051 --> 00:24:49,754
they stayed in a very small apartment
and Beto was born.
429
00:24:50,255 --> 00:24:52,557
She focused
430
00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:54,559
on motherhood.
431
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:58,630
And Roberto at that time,
something I think is very important,
432
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:02,133
he comes in as a structure,
of course, as a life partner,
433
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,436
husband, father of her son and all,
434
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,837
and also a business structure.
435
00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:08,206
But I said it was not possible
that she...
436
00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:12,644
That she was in such a deplorable
financial situation.
437
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:16,348
And then he also started
as a manager at Refestança,
438
00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,416
Rita's concert with Gilberto Gil.
439
00:25:18,483 --> 00:25:21,753
Very close to Gilberto
440
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:25,357
Very close to Gilberto
441
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:29,861
We got together and worked
with the two bands,
442
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:32,797
Tutti Frutti and Banda do Gil.
443
00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:36,001
We sang and played
in several places in Brazil.
444
00:25:36,067 --> 00:25:38,436
Gil was very kind to her,
445
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:41,439
the helping hand
she needed at that time.
446
00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:45,110
It was very difficult for her
to be accepted,
447
00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:48,013
those who liked Rita Lee
hid the fact that they liked her.
448
00:25:48,313 --> 00:25:51,950
And I think that Gil's arrival
helped a lot.
449
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,122
But none of the shows were recorded.
450
00:25:57,188 --> 00:25:59,024
We only recorded at Maracanãzinho,
451
00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:01,026
which had a large audience, whatever.
452
00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:02,093
A mistake.
453
00:26:02,794 --> 00:26:05,564
There is a certain swing, a movement,
454
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:07,265
the stage moves a little.
455
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:12,070
At a certain point,
one of the fins fell onto the stage.
456
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:15,373
The show at Maracanãzinho
was packed, really packed.
457
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,876
And at a certain time,
the stage collapsed.
458
00:26:19,311 --> 00:26:23,181
With the collapse of the stage in Rio,
Refestança also ended.
459
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:29,421
After Refestança,
Rita releases with Babilônia,
460
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:33,091
which would be Rita's last album
461
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:35,794
with Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti
on the cover.
462
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:39,965
Babilônia was recorded...
463
00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:45,136
It is from 1978,
already produced by Guto Graça Melo.
464
00:26:45,203 --> 00:26:46,871
But it was still the Rita...
465
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:49,741
For example,
there was "Miss Brasil 2000,"
466
00:26:49,808 --> 00:26:52,711
there were songs...
It was more these things.
467
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:55,480
Roberto was working on this album.
468
00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:59,017
I was taking care of the business side,
469
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:02,387
putting on shows, all that stuff.
470
00:27:03,054 --> 00:27:07,292
The keyboard player left the band,
I played the keyboard.
471
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,128
Then I joined and started playing too.
472
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:12,530
It's not a plane
473
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:14,332
It's not a star
474
00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:19,437
That's the light of a UFO
475
00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:23,241
And we wrote a song
called "Disco Voador."
476
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,611
It was the first song we wrote together.
477
00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:29,514
A UFO
478
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:32,484
Rita had always been
into flying saucers.
479
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:35,587
I would still like to, I still dream...
480
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:39,858
Of being abducted by a flying saucer.
481
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:46,231
It was a theme that was part
of this universe that she...
482
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:50,001
She saw a flying saucer,
I never saw one.
483
00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:54,472
Then Rita already had a mix
484
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:56,941
of rock and disco.
485
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,550
When the album came out,
486
00:28:05,617 --> 00:28:07,819
the band saw it only said
"Rita Lee" on the cover,
487
00:28:07,886 --> 00:28:09,621
it didn't say
"Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti,"
488
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:12,090
which was what we thought we were doing.
489
00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:16,661
They hanged the Gardens of Babylon
490
00:28:17,062 --> 00:28:20,632
Rita was recruited by the label,
not Tutti Frutti,
491
00:28:21,199 --> 00:28:24,836
but Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti
didn't formally exist,
492
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:28,840
and they wanted to have
"flight autonomy."
493
00:28:29,407 --> 00:28:31,876
That's when I saw that she...
494
00:28:31,943 --> 00:28:34,946
It was the beginning of separating
Rita Lee as a solo artist
495
00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:36,981
and there is no band anymore.
496
00:28:38,516 --> 00:28:41,886
My health is not like iron
497
00:28:42,353 --> 00:28:44,422
But my nerves are made of steel
498
00:28:44,489 --> 00:28:46,257
You split up with Rita Lee
499
00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:48,293
because you didn't want
to go so commercial...
500
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:50,595
-What is going on?
-It's not quite like that,
501
00:28:50,662 --> 00:28:53,598
it's just we're a band
playing rock with Rita,
502
00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:54,833
so...
503
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:58,269
I wanted Tutti Frutti to take the path
of being a real rock band,
504
00:28:58,670 --> 00:28:59,838
just rock and roll.
505
00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:01,740
And then we split up.
506
00:29:02,373 --> 00:29:07,712
The clown laughs while the people cry
And the show goes on
507
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:10,048
Carlini felt a bit threatened,
508
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:13,251
thinking he would leave the band,
that they would kick him out,
509
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:17,856
so he ended up registering
the name Tutti Frutti in his name.
510
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:20,425
Rita was... She didn't forgive him.
511
00:29:20,492 --> 00:29:22,961
The band remained with us.
512
00:29:23,394 --> 00:29:27,232
And this band came to be called
Cães e Gatos.
513
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:36,074
From the moment Roberto joined,
Rita began to have huge success.
514
00:29:39,244 --> 00:29:43,081
During the time
Rita was pregnant with João,
515
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:46,885
we started playing, playing, playing.
516
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:50,255
Lots of love, lots of music,
lots of creative things.
517
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:53,224
You were already pregnant,
you were gestating?
518
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:56,361
I was huge,
I recorded with the guitar up here.
519
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:59,864
And didn't it interfere
with the entire recording process?
520
00:29:59,931 --> 00:30:04,068
No, on the contrary, it gave me
a fantastic sensitivity.
521
00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:07,338
Everything was on the surface,
I felt everything I sang,
522
00:30:07,405 --> 00:30:08,540
so it was way better.
523
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:13,778
This is the guitar I used
to write "Mania de Você."
524
00:30:13,845 --> 00:30:15,713
It would stay by the bed
525
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:21,820
and in an afternoon inspired
by a lot of passion...
526
00:30:21,886 --> 00:30:24,055
We were in the bedroom
527
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,659
and we were in a state of grace.
528
00:30:27,725 --> 00:30:29,661
I started playing.
529
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:33,198
And Rita...
530
00:30:36,801 --> 00:30:39,838
My dear, you make
531
00:30:39,904 --> 00:30:42,507
My mouth water
532
00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:44,209
And it went on.
533
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:48,179
Wearing costumes
534
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:52,150
Taking off your clothes
535
00:30:52,483 --> 00:30:55,587
Dripping with sweat
536
00:30:55,653 --> 00:30:58,890
From kissing so much
537
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:02,327
Imagining so much
538
00:31:02,393 --> 00:31:03,828
Imagining what?
539
00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:05,830
Crazy things
540
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:06,998
So nice!
541
00:31:08,032 --> 00:31:09,601
When Rita comes
542
00:31:09,667 --> 00:31:11,903
and sings, "The love through telepathy
543
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:14,973
dripping with sweat
from so much kissing,"
544
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:19,110
it's a woman who takes the reins of sex,
pleasure, orgasm.
545
00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:23,548
We make love through telepathy
546
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:26,551
None of that existed,
and Rita was already all of that.
547
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:32,857
On the floor, in the sea, on the moon
In the melody
548
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:37,629
She would leave her bedroom door
ajar for people to peek in
549
00:31:37,695 --> 00:31:38,830
and that is brilliant.
550
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,100
Nothing better than doing nothing
551
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:45,470
Just to hang around with you
552
00:31:46,471 --> 00:31:49,908
So we see on this album
Roberto's presence,
553
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,277
there with Rita from beginning to end.
554
00:31:52,343 --> 00:31:57,649
And a love, a lifestyle, a daily routine
that began to inspire Rita a lot.
555
00:31:57,715 --> 00:32:00,251
My mouth water
556
00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:08,993
"Mania de Você" was the bridge,
it was the key.
557
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,161
And then...
558
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:12,196
It never stopped.
559
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:19,504
Come kiss me
560
00:32:21,472 --> 00:32:23,708
My sweet vampire
561
00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:30,682
Under the moonlight
562
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:34,819
One day I went to Rio to do a show.
563
00:32:34,886 --> 00:32:38,222
And then when I came back,
she had written "Doce Vampiro,"
564
00:32:38,289 --> 00:32:40,024
and I was this sweet vampire.
565
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:41,492
Always thinking
566
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,362
I was never a hot woman,
567
00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:47,432
but I always knew very well
how to express
568
00:32:47,865 --> 00:32:53,805
what a hot woman feels
and what causes her sexuality.
569
00:32:54,238 --> 00:32:55,773
It is a sensual record.
570
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,344
In fact, that's where she says
women also have to cum,
571
00:32:59,410 --> 00:33:00,511
not just men.
572
00:33:00,578 --> 00:33:03,748
When she says, "Give me the pleasure
of having pleasure with me,"
573
00:33:04,215 --> 00:33:07,618
she calls out the guy and says,
"It's not just you, darling."
574
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:11,856
None of this matters
575
00:33:12,256 --> 00:33:15,259
I'll open the door
576
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:18,596
So you can come in
577
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:23,067
Kiss my mouth
578
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:27,438
This album would change
Rita's career forever,
579
00:33:27,905 --> 00:33:31,376
and would also present
Rita's new path as...
580
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:33,511
As a pop star in Brazil.
581
00:33:39,817 --> 00:33:41,252
It was very important,
582
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:44,789
because it was the first album
we made and...
583
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:47,825
We inaugurated a new type of sound,
584
00:33:47,892 --> 00:33:51,396
repertoire, and formation of musicians.
585
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:54,132
It was made in a very good atmosphere
586
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:58,302
because I used to work with one band,
a set group of people,
587
00:33:58,669 --> 00:34:02,206
and on this album I invited people,
I invited musicians,
588
00:34:02,273 --> 00:34:05,176
I even had the opportunity
to meet fantastic people,
589
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:06,978
studio professionals.
590
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:09,047
"Guto" Graça Mello's production.
591
00:34:09,113 --> 00:34:11,249
I was a producer-fan, you know?
592
00:34:11,315 --> 00:34:13,718
It's different
from the producer who is...
593
00:34:14,352 --> 00:34:16,788
Creating, setting up, assembling.
594
00:34:16,854 --> 00:34:20,491
And he began to listen and understand
595
00:34:20,925 --> 00:34:24,495
the richness of what was
being produced musically.
596
00:34:25,196 --> 00:34:26,697
Daddy, I don't smoke
597
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:28,099
Daddy, I don't drink
598
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:31,803
My only flaw is not being afraid
Of doing what I like
599
00:34:32,303 --> 00:34:35,506
An album that reaches people
in this way:
600
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:39,977
Everybody happy, Rita and Roberto,
with love, children.
601
00:34:42,046 --> 00:34:43,047
Daddy!
602
00:34:43,114 --> 00:34:45,483
It's very natural that "Lança Perfume"
comes after this.
603
00:34:45,550 --> 00:34:46,818
Gimme a break
604
00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:53,558
I remember one day my father
was in the dining room
605
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:57,795
and I played it on the piano
that was in the dining room,
606
00:34:57,862 --> 00:35:01,766
my father said,
"Wow, this song will be a hit."
607
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:05,636
Sniff, girl, sniff all this popper
608
00:35:05,703 --> 00:35:09,407
Disrupt
It's impossible to remain immune
609
00:35:09,740 --> 00:35:15,279
"Lança Perfume" was the first
of the songs I like to call
610
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:16,714
"Rockarnival."
611
00:35:17,181 --> 00:35:20,785
It has a rock feel,
but it has a groove...
612
00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:22,520
I know this face
613
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:25,323
It's carnival rock.
614
00:35:25,389 --> 00:35:28,459
Turn me upside down
615
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:32,930
Do whatever you want with me
616
00:35:32,997 --> 00:35:36,300
Get me down on my knees
617
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:39,737
Fill me with love
618
00:35:39,804 --> 00:35:41,806
With love
619
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:44,909
It was so unique in Brazilian music,
620
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:47,512
that its genre is "Rita Lee."
621
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:49,514
Sniff
622
00:35:51,048 --> 00:35:52,850
Sniff the popper
623
00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:56,320
The popper was something
that during carnival in Rio de Janeiro,
624
00:35:56,387 --> 00:35:58,489
I remember people used it at parties
625
00:35:58,756 --> 00:36:01,392
to get high and have fun and all.
626
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:04,896
And Rita sang "Lança Perfume"
in a broader way,
627
00:36:04,962 --> 00:36:07,131
telling the story of her parents.
628
00:36:07,198 --> 00:36:09,867
My father was a huge Corinthians fan,
629
00:36:09,934 --> 00:36:11,335
always carrying a radio,
630
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:14,639
and when Corinthians scored and won,
631
00:36:14,705 --> 00:36:16,941
he would allow poppers in the house.
632
00:36:18,743 --> 00:36:19,977
Sniff
633
00:36:21,479 --> 00:36:23,047
Sniff the popper
634
00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:25,516
"Lança Perfume."
635
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:28,753
-"Age rating..."
-"Non-release."
636
00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:30,421
"The song lyrics mentioned
637
00:36:30,488 --> 00:36:34,525
use the expression
'Get me down on my knees,'
638
00:36:34,792 --> 00:36:38,629
which, in such context,
leaves room for a double meaning."
639
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,033
What would be a double meaning here?
There isn't one.
640
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,736
Come here, darling
Give me some ling
641
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:49,473
I'm a baby, I need lots of kisses
642
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:54,145
At the time, between 800,000
and 1 million records were sold.
643
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,147
And it was so, so successful,
644
00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:59,784
that it became a huge hit
in Brazil, of course.
645
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:05,623
And that was when Rita
was also introduced to the world.
646
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:13,030
And at that time,
which was a very intense time,
647
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:16,667
full of life, full of creativity,
648
00:37:16,934 --> 00:37:19,003
perhaps we were
649
00:37:19,737 --> 00:37:25,276
completely unprepared to live
with the opposite side of all of this.
650
00:37:27,211 --> 00:37:29,146
Rita has two sisters.
651
00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:32,883
The oldest, Mary,
and the middle sister, Virgínia.
652
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:36,387
The girls loved Mary,
Mary was like a guru.
653
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:40,524
Mary knew what songs
were popular at the time,
654
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,494
she watched the films that were
only for people over 18
655
00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:44,962
and told the two girls about them.
656
00:37:45,229 --> 00:37:50,668
My older sister, Mary, was a film buff,
she knew everything about cinema.
657
00:37:50,735 --> 00:37:55,273
She was the one
who brought these characters to Rita,
658
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:58,709
and then they would do these plays
in the basement,
659
00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:02,346
where they could, as Rita would say,
let it all out.
660
00:38:02,913 --> 00:38:06,284
She was so crazy
and my father was very strict.
661
00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:08,919
I stole the title of black sheep
from her.
662
00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:12,757
I think a lot of what Rita
has become as an artist,
663
00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:15,226
as a person,
and what she shows on stage,
664
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:17,628
came a lot from Mary.
665
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:22,233
It was August, August 27th...
666
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,367
RITA'S SISTER
667
00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:27,838
And Mary told me, "Tell Mom not to come
because it's very cold today."
668
00:38:28,706 --> 00:38:33,678
So I got home, called my mom,
and gave her this message.
669
00:38:34,412 --> 00:38:37,548
As soon as I hung up,
the hospital called me.
670
00:38:37,615 --> 00:38:38,916
She was already gone.
671
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:43,921
She already had health problems,
she was taking some medication,
672
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:45,089
and she was a drinker.
673
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:47,758
She ended up being hospitalized
and never left the hospital,
674
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:48,826
she didn't resist.
675
00:38:50,494 --> 00:38:54,598
I think it was the first
major encounter with death
676
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:58,369
that Rita had in her life,
and it was quite disruptive.
677
00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:00,771
It was the loss of a piece
678
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:02,306
of the whole family.
679
00:39:11,415 --> 00:39:14,151
But soon after,
Rita became pregnant with Antônio.
680
00:39:14,618 --> 00:39:16,821
She always stops everything,
as she always says,
681
00:39:16,887 --> 00:39:20,658
the moment of pregnancy
is always sacred.
682
00:39:21,392 --> 00:39:23,794
While Rita was pregnant with Antônio,
683
00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:28,299
we wrote and started recording Saúde.
684
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:31,068
I'm fed up with all the gossip
685
00:39:32,269 --> 00:39:35,773
Excuse me, but I'll go crazy
686
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,176
I want to be healthier
687
00:39:39,243 --> 00:39:42,446
The album Saúde
has a strong connection with a time
688
00:39:42,513 --> 00:39:45,883
when we wanted to get very healthy
689
00:39:45,950 --> 00:39:49,153
in order to have a healthy child.
690
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:53,557
All I know is that I'll take
Better care of myself
691
00:39:54,091 --> 00:39:57,294
And Antônio was born alongside
692
00:39:57,928 --> 00:39:59,163
the release of Saúde.
693
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:03,567
So, on August 6, 1981,
694
00:40:04,368 --> 00:40:07,204
the same day my mother was born,
695
00:40:07,271 --> 00:40:11,242
the same day the bomb
went off in Hiroshima,
696
00:40:11,675 --> 00:40:14,311
and the same day Andy Warhol was born.
697
00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:20,050
So, a day full of events
of maximum magnitude.
698
00:40:20,117 --> 00:40:23,788
While I'm alive, with all my grace
699
00:40:24,155 --> 00:40:29,393
I still might make a lot of people happy
700
00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:31,595
I was born in 1981,
701
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:35,966
it already had that maximum frequency,
that was always my reality,
702
00:40:36,033 --> 00:40:42,139
I don't remember at any time
doing something in a public place
703
00:40:42,206 --> 00:40:45,242
with other people,
and it being a normal experience.
704
00:40:52,917 --> 00:40:57,321
You and Roberto convey the image
of a healthy family.
705
00:40:57,388 --> 00:41:00,758
How do you achieve this?
How do your children view your music?
706
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:04,862
The kids love it.
Rock is kid's business.
707
00:41:04,929 --> 00:41:06,430
It's pretty obvious, no?
708
00:41:06,997 --> 00:41:09,066
And Roberto and I share everything,
709
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:12,002
all the business
of taking care of the house,
710
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:16,874
the music thing and taking care
of the kids at the same time.
711
00:41:26,016 --> 00:41:28,285
The dictatorship had its eyes on Rita.
712
00:41:28,352 --> 00:41:32,857
Every time Rita became more successful,
their eyes turned to Rita.
713
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:36,994
Rita was the composer whose lyrics
714
00:41:37,061 --> 00:41:39,663
were most vetoed by censors.
715
00:41:40,130 --> 00:41:43,200
Saúde was Rita's album
that had the most banned songs.
716
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:44,702
BANNED
717
00:41:45,035 --> 00:41:48,873
If you see in this document,
it is a general document,
718
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:51,709
they only managed to release
three from here.
719
00:41:52,743 --> 00:41:54,111
-"Favorita..."
-Unbelievable.
720
00:41:54,178 --> 00:41:56,013
"Galinhagem," which became "Tititi,"
721
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,249
and "Afrodite,"
which became "Banho de Espuma."
722
00:41:58,315 --> 00:42:04,288
The themes we talked about
were not so political,
723
00:42:04,822 --> 00:42:08,592
but more about habits and customs.
724
00:42:12,062 --> 00:42:15,533
"We examined the aforementioned lyrics
725
00:42:15,799 --> 00:42:19,537
and found they contain vulgar terms,
726
00:42:20,004 --> 00:42:23,607
phrases with malicious
and coarse connotations,
727
00:42:24,041 --> 00:42:27,711
as well as insinuations
of sexual relations."
728
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:30,447
They were lyrics that spoke of love,
729
00:42:30,514 --> 00:42:34,585
that spoke of passion,
that spoke of sex.
730
00:42:34,652 --> 00:42:36,120
It sounds more like motel music.
731
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:40,324
I've been told I'm a motel musician.
I say thank you very much.
732
00:42:40,824 --> 00:42:42,860
Because that's where you make love.
733
00:42:42,927 --> 00:42:46,397
But there was no woman
talking about these topics,
734
00:42:46,463 --> 00:42:48,198
Rita was the first.
735
00:42:48,699 --> 00:42:53,904
A personality with a very unique,
very rich characteristic.
736
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:04,181
Rita arrived to break many paradigms,
737
00:43:04,248 --> 00:43:05,816
many barriers.
738
00:43:05,883 --> 00:43:09,019
She always did the things she wanted.
739
00:43:09,086 --> 00:43:11,989
Imagine the topics Rita touched on.
740
00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:14,525
In many songs...
741
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:16,860
In "Cor de Rosa Choque,"
she brings that up.
742
00:43:17,194 --> 00:43:19,463
The two sides of Eva
743
00:43:21,465 --> 00:43:23,434
The beauty and the beast
744
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:29,106
A smile of someone who asks for nothing
745
00:43:29,573 --> 00:43:33,677
I had never heard anyone say
something like that in Brazilian music.
746
00:43:33,744 --> 00:43:35,980
Women are strange creatures
747
00:43:36,046 --> 00:43:38,582
"Women are strange creatures,
they bleed every month."
748
00:43:38,649 --> 00:43:39,483
MUSICIAN
749
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:42,119
Who said that besides Rita Lee?
750
00:43:42,186 --> 00:43:45,322
A sixth sense bigger than reason
751
00:43:45,389 --> 00:43:49,760
I think Ritinha paved the way
for female singers.
752
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:51,295
And she opened up space,
753
00:43:51,362 --> 00:43:53,864
perhaps without even knowing
she was opening it.
754
00:43:53,931 --> 00:43:57,201
And speak truths that could not be said.
755
00:43:57,568 --> 00:43:59,303
Autonomous, free,
756
00:43:59,937 --> 00:44:01,005
rebellious,
757
00:44:01,438 --> 00:44:04,808
accepted as a woman, creator,
758
00:44:05,075 --> 00:44:08,746
all these things helped
many women in Brazil.
759
00:44:09,446 --> 00:44:11,782
So don't provoke me
760
00:44:13,283 --> 00:44:15,285
I'm wearing bright pink
761
00:44:17,888 --> 00:44:19,023
So don't provoke me
762
00:44:20,858 --> 00:44:23,193
I'm wearing bright pink
763
00:44:23,761 --> 00:44:26,964
Then after Saúde, came
Rita Lee e Roberto de Carvalho,
764
00:44:27,031 --> 00:44:28,565
that's the name of the album,
765
00:44:29,033 --> 00:44:32,236
and it was Rita's first album
with Roberto on the cover.
766
00:44:32,302 --> 00:44:37,574
A cover that has a lot to do
with a self-image
767
00:44:38,108 --> 00:44:41,178
that is idyllic and pleasurable
768
00:44:41,645 --> 00:44:43,881
that we have of ourselves.
769
00:44:43,947 --> 00:44:48,052
This is the cover
that is inspired by Fellini,
770
00:44:48,118 --> 00:44:49,253
E la nave va,
771
00:44:49,319 --> 00:44:52,823
look at the two of them
in that plastic pool.
772
00:44:54,558 --> 00:44:56,527
We are in the water,
773
00:44:57,194 --> 00:44:58,796
I am hugging her...
774
00:44:58,862 --> 00:44:59,897
HUSBAND AND PARTNER
775
00:44:59,963 --> 00:45:04,268
And she is happy
with a flower in her hair.
776
00:45:04,334 --> 00:45:08,405
This record easily sold
three million copies.
777
00:45:08,972 --> 00:45:10,307
In the darkness of the cinema
778
00:45:11,608 --> 00:45:12,743
Eating mint drops
779
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:16,380
Away from any troubles
780
00:45:17,314 --> 00:45:19,550
Closer to a happy ending
781
00:45:19,850 --> 00:45:24,755
Rita was extremely happy...
782
00:45:24,822 --> 00:45:26,390
And blessed too.
783
00:45:32,996 --> 00:45:36,133
Do you know what I was?
I was aware of my happiness.
784
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,837
I was knowing that I am happy,
I know that I am happy.
785
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:48,746
How long have you been
touring Brazil with this show?
786
00:45:48,812 --> 00:45:52,950
Look, we started in January,
we did North and Northeast,
787
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:56,186
we're coming to São Paulo,
then we'll go to the South,
788
00:45:56,253 --> 00:45:59,356
we'll go to central Brazil,
so I think it will take a long time.
789
00:46:02,459 --> 00:46:08,465
Close to the 82, 83 tour,
which was already planned to start,
790
00:46:08,732 --> 00:46:09,733
Elis dies,
791
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:11,935
her great friend.
792
00:46:12,336 --> 00:46:14,438
And then comes the death
of Rita's father.
793
00:46:14,505 --> 00:46:17,074
I fell to rock bottom,
the clown went to rock bottom,
794
00:46:17,141 --> 00:46:18,342
there was no way to be funny.
795
00:46:18,408 --> 00:46:21,845
I didn't even want to be funny,
I wanted to cry as much as I could.
796
00:46:22,312 --> 00:46:25,983
She started with what she calls
'the takings,'
797
00:46:26,316 --> 00:46:29,353
she took things to forget
what was happening
798
00:46:29,753 --> 00:46:31,889
and be able to carry on with the show,
799
00:46:31,955 --> 00:46:34,224
to be able to move forward
with the work.
800
00:46:34,491 --> 00:46:38,428
A period of complete drug abuse,
801
00:46:38,495 --> 00:46:41,465
especially when
my father and mother died.
802
00:46:42,266 --> 00:46:44,601
I cried
803
00:46:46,670 --> 00:46:51,275
The "takings," as she says,
ended up taking Rita to a hospital,
804
00:46:51,642 --> 00:46:54,978
what we would call "rehab" today.
805
00:46:55,312 --> 00:46:59,016
And Rita, with her characteristic
sense of humor, called it a "hospice."
806
00:46:59,082 --> 00:47:01,285
When you lose control
of your drug use...
807
00:47:01,351 --> 00:47:02,419
CORINTHIANS' PLAYER
808
00:47:02,486 --> 00:47:05,122
If you continue on that same path,
it will lead to death.
809
00:47:05,455 --> 00:47:07,891
So, I didn't do a show
for about four years,
810
00:47:07,958 --> 00:47:11,962
I made records for the label,
that repetitive thing with Roberto,
811
00:47:12,029 --> 00:47:13,096
that sort of thing,
812
00:47:13,597 --> 00:47:16,033
and the critics attacked me and I was...
813
00:47:16,466 --> 00:47:18,335
I was so fragile.
814
00:47:18,836 --> 00:47:22,072
And I fell, I fell hard.
815
00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:27,311
Happy birthday to you
816
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:31,014
Happy birthday to you
817
00:47:31,081 --> 00:47:35,686
Happy birthday, my dear
Happy birthday to you
818
00:47:35,752 --> 00:47:36,720
Yay!
819
00:47:37,287 --> 00:47:40,524
Our parents' profession
is a very intermittent business,
820
00:47:40,858 --> 00:47:45,229
they don't go to work at nine
and leave at five every night.
821
00:47:45,295 --> 00:47:48,866
Remember when we went to school,
at six we were leaving home,
822
00:47:49,333 --> 00:47:51,235
and Mom and Dad
were coming from the studio?
823
00:47:53,170 --> 00:47:56,573
I only understood
the difference at school,
824
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,210
when you start to spend time
with other friends,
825
00:48:00,277 --> 00:48:03,580
and you spend the weekend
at their place and you see,
826
00:48:03,647 --> 00:48:09,019
"Oh right, so the alpha figure
in families is rarely a woman."
827
00:48:10,654 --> 00:48:14,424
Father and mother at breakfast,
I don't remember them at the table.
828
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:17,427
-A normal family.
-And when friends came to our house,
829
00:48:17,494 --> 00:48:21,298
they were a bit stunned
by how different it was.
830
00:48:21,365 --> 00:48:23,533
They spent weekends traveling,
everyone together,
831
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,170
our parents worked on the weekends,
so there were these differences, but...
832
00:48:28,438 --> 00:48:31,408
I think in a way they are
normal people too.
833
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:37,180
And in that sense they were making
the sacrifices everyone makes,
834
00:48:37,247 --> 00:48:38,548
all families make.
835
00:48:45,956 --> 00:48:49,960
Rita was a very family-oriented person,
very close to her family, very close,
836
00:48:50,027 --> 00:48:53,530
but that family period
was quite turbulent.
837
00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:56,266
Death of father, death of mother,
death of sister,
838
00:48:56,733 --> 00:48:58,869
a time to think, a time to cry.
839
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:01,571
And I didn't want to share this
with people,
840
00:49:01,638 --> 00:49:03,340
my character, Rita Lee,
841
00:49:04,274 --> 00:49:08,378
is very cheerful, very happy,
she didn't want to be crying around.
842
00:49:08,445 --> 00:49:09,613
I've never seen her...
843
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:10,714
SON
844
00:49:10,781 --> 00:49:15,686
She never put herself
as the victim of these situations.
845
00:49:16,186 --> 00:49:19,356
She always finds a way
846
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:23,593
to make fun of anything
and any situation.
847
00:49:26,563 --> 00:49:28,498
Why is she eating out of a plate?
848
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:33,236
She is the mother of three children
and all this madness is happening,
849
00:49:33,537 --> 00:49:37,908
in the midst of all this,
managing to have a house,
850
00:49:37,975 --> 00:49:39,876
a home, being a responsible mother,
851
00:49:39,943 --> 00:49:43,914
while all of this is happening...
That's very difficult.
852
00:49:43,981 --> 00:49:46,550
But you have many facets, right?
853
00:49:46,616 --> 00:49:49,820
Because you have a mother side,
a professional side, a side...
854
00:49:49,886 --> 00:49:53,724
All mixed together, the writing,
the rock, the shows.
855
00:49:53,790 --> 00:49:55,459
How do you manage all of that?
856
00:49:55,859 --> 00:49:56,860
I don't.
857
00:49:58,562 --> 00:49:59,997
She made album after album,
858
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,332
she had a record contract
that she had to fulfill,
859
00:50:02,399 --> 00:50:03,633
she had the tours,
860
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:06,470
year after year without being able
to take a vacation,
861
00:50:06,536 --> 00:50:08,672
and while she was on tour,
her father died,
862
00:50:08,939 --> 00:50:10,974
then she was on tour,
her great aunt died,
863
00:50:11,041 --> 00:50:12,876
or she was on tour, her mother died.
864
00:50:16,513 --> 00:50:18,015
It was a decline...
865
00:50:18,081 --> 00:50:19,082
BETO LEE
SON
866
00:50:19,149 --> 00:50:22,919
...in the family life
and in their life as a couple,
867
00:50:23,687 --> 00:50:27,491
when my mother really started
to have problems with alcohol.
868
00:50:27,557 --> 00:50:30,927
When I feel a bit rejected
869
00:50:31,661 --> 00:50:33,930
I feel a lump in my throat
870
00:50:34,531 --> 00:50:36,833
A moment for Rita to become
a little more introverted.
871
00:50:37,167 --> 00:50:40,804
And then a more difficult phase
began for Rita
872
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:46,076
and we started to drift apart a little,
because I had quit drugs.
873
00:50:46,143 --> 00:50:48,412
Poor me for being like this
874
00:50:48,478 --> 00:50:51,448
Then came a time when we...
875
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:55,252
We ended up living
in two different apartments.
876
00:50:55,318 --> 00:50:58,455
-I kept taking drugs and he didn't.
-It wasn't because of that.
877
00:50:58,522 --> 00:50:59,790
He's embarrassed about that.
878
00:50:59,856 --> 00:51:02,959
Your schedules were incompatible,
is that it?
879
00:51:03,026 --> 00:51:04,728
It's not just that, it's also...
880
00:51:04,795 --> 00:51:06,329
-I was a real pain.
-It's not that.
881
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:10,567
I didn't think it was good
to be among the boys so I'd go out.
882
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:13,437
You left me hanging
883
00:51:13,503 --> 00:51:17,574
She was entering this depressive state,
and I think that for this state,
884
00:51:17,641 --> 00:51:21,144
these drugs that were part
of the beginning of her life,
885
00:51:21,211 --> 00:51:23,480
the LSD, the acid,
886
00:51:23,547 --> 00:51:25,449
they didn't have much purpose,
887
00:51:25,515 --> 00:51:27,117
she needed relief.
888
00:51:27,184 --> 00:51:29,986
Deep down always alone
889
00:51:30,620 --> 00:51:33,523
Following my path
890
00:51:33,857 --> 00:51:38,862
We felt the need for each one to do
891
00:51:38,929 --> 00:51:42,432
what they wanted
without interference from the other.
892
00:51:47,437 --> 00:51:51,508
Roberto started producing
his own album, a solo album,
893
00:51:51,942 --> 00:51:54,945
so Rita called me,
she said she didn't want to play alone.
894
00:51:55,011 --> 00:51:58,014
Let's play together?
Very simple, guitar and vocals.
895
00:51:58,548 --> 00:52:01,551
I want to introduce you to Alexandre.
896
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,255
That's where Bossa 'n' Roll
really originated.
897
00:52:05,322 --> 00:52:06,590
WITH A STOOL AND A GUITAR
898
00:52:06,656 --> 00:52:08,625
It's an album made entirely of guitars,
899
00:52:08,692 --> 00:52:12,295
it's a mix of bossa nova,
a typically Brazilian music,
900
00:52:12,762 --> 00:52:13,964
with rock and roll.
901
00:52:14,431 --> 00:52:17,267
In the end of all, I see my heart
902
00:52:17,901 --> 00:52:21,538
People have no idea of her ability
903
00:52:21,605 --> 00:52:24,474
and her ease playing the guitar,
904
00:52:24,541 --> 00:52:28,645
her sense of tuning, rhythm,
and definition was wonderful.
905
00:52:28,712 --> 00:52:32,916
Poor me for being a romantic
906
00:52:33,183 --> 00:52:35,585
Well, Bossa 'n' Roll started as therapy.
907
00:52:35,919 --> 00:52:38,555
She had been estranged from my father.
908
00:52:38,622 --> 00:52:41,358
My mother went to live
on the other side of the city.
909
00:52:41,424 --> 00:52:43,860
And Bossa 'n' Roll was a solo concert.
910
00:52:43,927 --> 00:52:47,731
I cry until I'm dried up of all the hurt
911
00:52:48,465 --> 00:52:50,500
And then, one day,
912
00:52:50,567 --> 00:52:54,171
at a show where she must have been
feeling a bit anxious,
913
00:52:54,738 --> 00:52:56,973
she saw a little bottle
of those whiskeys
914
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,575
they have in the minibar
915
00:52:58,642 --> 00:53:04,014
and took a shot to calm down.
916
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,316
She wanted to ease some of the pain
she was feeling.
917
00:53:07,117 --> 00:53:09,886
I think that's where alcohol
and tranquilizers came in.
918
00:53:09,953 --> 00:53:13,523
And when she was
in these altered states,
919
00:53:13,990 --> 00:53:16,760
it wasn't her,
she was truly unrecognizable.
920
00:53:16,826 --> 00:53:19,963
The famous Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
921
00:53:20,030 --> 00:53:21,898
one left and the other came in.
922
00:53:21,965 --> 00:53:25,035
I thought... I said,
"Someone has to stay with her"
923
00:53:25,435 --> 00:53:26,636
because otherwise...
924
00:53:26,703 --> 00:53:28,705
Too bad you didn't want me
925
00:53:28,772 --> 00:53:30,073
...something might happen.
926
00:53:30,140 --> 00:53:33,376
I almost killed myself
927
00:53:33,810 --> 00:53:37,080
You were little, João was little,
and I wasn't that old myself.
928
00:53:37,514 --> 00:53:40,784
Hey, ho
929
00:53:40,850 --> 00:53:45,288
It's so hot, it's so hot
930
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:47,324
These were the last shows
of Bossa 'n' Roll
931
00:53:47,958 --> 00:53:50,293
and she already had
some ideas for other things,
932
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,462
for a different album.
933
00:53:52,529 --> 00:53:54,764
She ended up making an album in 1993.
934
00:53:54,831 --> 00:53:56,800
A solo album, without Roberto again.
935
00:53:56,866 --> 00:53:59,836
Dressed to kill
936
00:54:01,004 --> 00:54:03,340
During my menopause
937
00:54:03,673 --> 00:54:06,076
It was a time she was
separated from Roberto,
938
00:54:07,877 --> 00:54:09,813
and I don't know why
and I didn't even ask.
939
00:54:10,146 --> 00:54:13,883
Separation of bodies,
not of soul and spirit.
940
00:54:16,853 --> 00:54:21,324
Then we have this album from 1993,
also called Rita Lee.
941
00:54:21,391 --> 00:54:23,627
It was going to be called Big Mama,
942
00:54:23,693 --> 00:54:26,997
but at the last minute she changed it,
I don't know why.
943
00:54:27,063 --> 00:54:30,800
Produced by Rita, it's a very 70s album.
944
00:54:30,867 --> 00:54:32,535
My son told me, Mom...
945
00:54:34,204 --> 00:54:36,339
Today is tomorrow
946
00:54:37,841 --> 00:54:40,377
That tutti-frutti dream, Mom
947
00:54:41,478 --> 00:54:43,446
Became a mint chaos
948
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,117
Sometime later she invited me
to do some shows with her.
949
00:54:48,184 --> 00:54:51,054
We played talk shows, Hebe Camargo.
950
00:54:54,457 --> 00:54:56,559
One of your sons is on the record.
951
00:54:57,127 --> 00:55:02,165
This is Beto, I wrote this song
based on the things he tells me.
952
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:04,467
Computers feeling pain
953
00:55:05,502 --> 00:55:07,504
The virus will strike
954
00:55:08,872 --> 00:55:11,474
We're feeling existential munchies
955
00:55:12,442 --> 00:55:14,878
Mom, I want some milk
956
00:55:14,944 --> 00:55:17,847
Beto Lee Carvalho, your son,
is he also part of the band?
957
00:55:18,248 --> 00:55:22,385
He is so good, that boy.
Fifteen years old, so cute.
958
00:55:22,452 --> 00:55:26,690
He's got a 50s style,
kind of like Chuck Berry.
959
00:55:30,694 --> 00:55:34,898
So good, a little raw on the guitar,
I like a raw guitar,
960
00:55:34,964 --> 00:55:38,335
but a nice swagger, he holds up well,
I think...
961
00:55:38,401 --> 00:55:41,938
Next year I'll make a Menudo
out of my family and then retire.
962
00:55:42,005 --> 00:55:44,007
See, Mary Amélie? That's how life is.
963
00:55:44,074 --> 00:55:47,477
Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah
964
00:55:47,544 --> 00:55:50,113
Here lies your beautiful city
965
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:53,550
You are a prisoner in the dungeon
966
00:55:53,983 --> 00:55:56,586
She was already pretty crazy
at that time.
967
00:55:56,653 --> 00:55:58,054
She drank a lot,
968
00:55:58,121 --> 00:56:00,590
she led a very lonely life.
969
00:56:00,924 --> 00:56:03,793
Direct call to the bitch
970
00:56:04,327 --> 00:56:05,695
We were in a very...
971
00:56:05,762 --> 00:56:07,163
ANTONIO LEE
SON
972
00:56:07,230 --> 00:56:09,766
In a problematic moment.
973
00:56:10,233 --> 00:56:11,735
Every woman wants to be loved,
974
00:56:12,402 --> 00:56:13,903
every woman wants to be happy.
975
00:56:13,970 --> 00:56:17,507
The frequency at which
these things were happening
976
00:56:17,574 --> 00:56:18,641
was increasing.
977
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:20,643
And I... I...
978
00:56:21,177 --> 00:56:23,680
I want it too!
979
00:56:24,114 --> 00:56:27,150
Because every woman wants to be happy.
980
00:56:27,450 --> 00:56:30,286
Every woman wants to be loved.
981
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,524
It's not that she was becoming
a nicer version of herself,
982
00:56:34,591 --> 00:56:39,229
she was becoming a more
aggressive and brutish version.
983
00:56:40,263 --> 00:56:41,331
Every woman
984
00:56:41,831 --> 00:56:45,034
On the other hand,
I couldn't take it anymore,
985
00:56:45,101 --> 00:56:46,770
I just wanted it to end.
986
00:56:48,171 --> 00:56:50,039
Until that accident.
987
00:56:52,675 --> 00:56:57,247
We had a house in upstate São Paulo
which was a kind of family refuge.
988
00:56:59,849 --> 00:57:02,152
This house had a wooden staircase
989
00:57:02,218 --> 00:57:05,255
and she was there in that house
one day, alone,
990
00:57:05,321 --> 00:57:08,691
she had drunk a little,
it was raining a lot,
991
00:57:08,758 --> 00:57:13,296
and she went down those stairs
and she slipped because of the rain
992
00:57:13,363 --> 00:57:15,932
and she fell to the side
that didn't have a handrail.
993
00:57:15,999 --> 00:57:18,568
The handrail was on the right side,
she fell to the left.
994
00:57:22,972 --> 00:57:27,377
She was in a deplorable state,
that fall was awful.
995
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:30,947
And I remember the whole process,
her face was swollen,
996
00:57:31,014 --> 00:57:32,782
it wasn't just her jaw that got broken,
997
00:57:33,116 --> 00:57:36,319
some doctors didn't want to operate,
they didn't have the courage.
998
00:57:36,386 --> 00:57:37,821
Then we found a team that did.
999
00:57:37,887 --> 00:57:40,323
They had to open it here, pull it,
put something here...
1000
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:42,025
They opened both sides.
1001
00:57:42,091 --> 00:57:44,861
They made a cut from the center
of the head, from behind,
1002
00:57:45,428 --> 00:57:46,596
detached one side of her face.
1003
00:57:46,663 --> 00:57:48,932
-Jesus...
-Detached the other side.
1004
00:57:48,998 --> 00:57:50,099
Completely mad.
1005
00:57:50,166 --> 00:57:54,404
This event on the balcony
was what brought us together again.
1006
00:58:01,544 --> 00:58:03,213
I asked Rita to marry me
1007
00:58:03,813 --> 00:58:04,848
and we got married.
1008
00:58:09,118 --> 00:58:10,353
Interesting times...
1009
00:58:10,420 --> 00:58:12,055
Roberto, receive this ring...
1010
00:58:12,121 --> 00:58:14,924
-As a sign of my love...
-As a sign of my love...
1011
00:58:14,991 --> 00:58:17,193
-And fidelity.
-And fidelity.
1012
00:58:17,994 --> 00:58:18,995
Amen.
1013
00:58:19,562 --> 00:58:20,763
You are married.
1014
00:58:24,133 --> 00:58:25,835
I am a lucky person,
1015
00:58:26,336 --> 00:58:29,906
that I have by my side,
not behind me, by my side,
1016
00:58:31,174 --> 00:58:32,342
the man of my life.
1017
00:58:32,408 --> 00:58:35,512
I thought it was a way
1018
00:58:35,578 --> 00:58:40,049
for me to show how much I loved her.
1019
00:58:40,116 --> 00:58:43,319
As much as I've loved Roberto
for 21 years,
1020
00:58:43,386 --> 00:58:46,022
it feels like it all started again.
1021
00:58:46,389 --> 00:58:49,259
Despite the accident,
despite everything...
1022
00:58:50,727 --> 00:58:53,997
She continued to be my other half.
1023
00:58:58,167 --> 00:59:00,803
How am I going to make
a Rita Lee album with a pin?
1024
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:04,407
Will this become an impediment
to her singing?
1025
00:59:04,874 --> 00:59:08,778
And I have a little tic,
a very funny tic,
1026
00:59:08,845 --> 00:59:13,449
I call it a typewriter, it goes right
and comes back, again and again.
1027
00:59:13,516 --> 00:59:18,755
Doctors said she might not
be able to sing again.
1028
00:59:18,821 --> 00:59:21,624
Defender of bottles and pills
1029
00:59:22,058 --> 00:59:24,961
-Wonderful.
-You are the beauty of us crazy people
1030
00:59:27,864 --> 00:59:29,699
We recorded in Los Angeles.
1031
00:59:30,166 --> 00:59:33,202
We went together,
we spent a long time there.
1032
00:59:33,636 --> 00:59:35,805
And it came out crystal clear.
1033
00:59:39,208 --> 00:59:41,010
This album was made on tape,
1034
00:59:41,077 --> 00:59:45,281
there is no technological assistance
to tune, move the voice or anything,
1035
00:59:45,348 --> 00:59:47,116
what you hear there is what she sang,
1036
00:59:47,483 --> 00:59:49,085
exactly what she sang.
1037
00:59:49,152 --> 00:59:53,790
Saint Rita of Sampa
1038
00:59:56,092 --> 00:59:58,628
Saint Rita of Sampa
1039
00:59:58,695 --> 01:00:01,931
Rita represents something different
1040
01:00:01,998 --> 01:00:03,833
from the established,
1041
01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:06,202
she shows she can do anything.
1042
01:00:10,340 --> 01:00:14,344
Did you tell your viewers? You didn't?
1043
01:00:14,410 --> 01:00:15,712
-No.
-I told Roberto.
1044
01:00:15,778 --> 01:00:16,946
-Really?
-Can I tell them?
1045
01:00:17,013 --> 01:00:19,282
-What was his reaction?
-Here's the thing...
1046
01:00:19,716 --> 01:00:21,551
I'm getting married to Hebe Camargo.
1047
01:00:31,394 --> 01:00:33,329
The more it is forbidden
1048
01:00:34,163 --> 01:00:36,466
The more it makes sense to break the law
1049
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:39,702
Sex drive is not a crime
1050
01:00:40,169 --> 01:00:42,238
Fight against the lack of education
1051
01:00:43,373 --> 01:00:46,743
The song you're about to sing,
"Obrigado Não,"
1052
01:00:46,809 --> 01:00:49,479
its story is fantastic,
tell us about it.
1053
01:00:49,545 --> 01:00:51,581
It's a controversial song, my love.
1054
01:00:51,648 --> 01:00:56,719
We talk about abortion, gay marriage,
1055
01:00:56,786 --> 01:00:57,854
and drugs, of course.
1056
01:00:58,388 --> 01:01:00,556
Separate the wheat from the chaff
1057
01:01:01,524 --> 01:01:03,126
That two-faced friend
1058
01:01:04,093 --> 01:01:06,029
And regarding drugs, I think,
1059
01:01:06,095 --> 01:01:10,333
I say in the song, "Say no to drugs,
but be polite, say no, thank you."
1060
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:11,868
Thank you, no
1061
01:01:13,770 --> 01:01:15,138
Thank you, no
1062
01:01:15,972 --> 01:01:19,609
She was an example of freedom
1063
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:22,378
within this square country we live in,
1064
01:01:22,445 --> 01:01:24,280
which is now even more square
than before.
1065
01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:25,615
Thank you, no
1066
01:01:26,983 --> 01:01:28,217
Thank you, no
1067
01:01:28,284 --> 01:01:31,788
Then with Santa Rita de Sampa
there was a huge tour,
1068
01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:32,989
very successful too.
1069
01:01:39,996 --> 01:01:41,664
Can you give me this little baby?
1070
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:47,003
But I think that at that stage,
they entered a more domestic phase,
1071
01:01:47,070 --> 01:01:48,071
and went to live
1072
01:01:48,871 --> 01:01:52,642
in their house on the farm,
so they enjoyed that moment,
1073
01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:55,011
just them in a new place.
1074
01:01:55,078 --> 01:01:57,814
And here on the farm
we recorded two albums.
1075
01:01:58,347 --> 01:01:59,415
This is Balacobaco,
1076
01:01:59,849 --> 01:02:02,885
it's the one with "Amor e Sexo,"
it's a great album.
1077
01:02:02,952 --> 01:02:07,623
Rita, don't do it sentence by sentence,
it becomes very...
1078
01:02:08,725 --> 01:02:10,660
You have to sing a little.
1079
01:02:10,927 --> 01:02:15,898
Love without sex is friendship
1080
01:02:17,633 --> 01:02:19,869
Sex without love
1081
01:02:22,004 --> 01:02:23,473
Is desire
1082
01:02:23,873 --> 01:02:26,743
For those who lived
in Brazil at the time,
1083
01:02:26,809 --> 01:02:29,045
you would go anywhere
and hear "Amor e Sexo."
1084
01:02:29,112 --> 01:02:30,847
Sex is two
1085
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,382
Soap operas, radio...
1086
01:02:33,449 --> 01:02:35,551
"Amor e Sexo" was all over the place.
1087
01:02:35,618 --> 01:02:38,354
It was definitely the most played
song of the year.
1088
01:02:39,322 --> 01:02:41,624
Love is soap opera
1089
01:02:43,059 --> 01:02:45,261
Sex is cinema
1090
01:02:47,630 --> 01:02:51,200
Love is Christian
1091
01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:53,903
Sex is pagan
1092
01:02:55,104 --> 01:02:57,406
Love is land property
1093
01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,976
Sex is an invasion
1094
01:03:00,476 --> 01:03:04,046
And Balacobaco
once again went platinum,
1095
01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:08,885
and is a quality album,
a journey through genres.
1096
01:03:08,951 --> 01:03:11,053
Love is Bossa Nova
1097
01:03:12,755 --> 01:03:15,825
Sex is carnival
1098
01:03:18,427 --> 01:03:21,898
After Balacobaco, there were many shows,
and then came Reza.
1099
01:03:23,432 --> 01:03:26,803
And so on, and so forth
1100
01:03:31,407 --> 01:03:32,842
Oh, love
1101
01:03:34,677 --> 01:03:36,379
Sex
1102
01:03:43,953 --> 01:03:46,489
Between Balacobaco and Reza,
1103
01:03:47,290 --> 01:03:49,492
from 2003 to 2012,
1104
01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:53,062
a few things happened,
including the birth of my daughter.
1105
01:03:54,997 --> 01:03:56,933
The arrival of a child really...
1106
01:03:56,999 --> 01:04:00,903
A grandchild changes the dynamics
of a family, it's inevitable.
1107
01:04:01,204 --> 01:04:05,541
And I think that she, not only for Iza,
I think she did it for herself,
1108
01:04:06,008 --> 01:04:07,109
she really...
1109
01:04:08,077 --> 01:04:09,645
She opened a new chapter.
1110
01:04:09,712 --> 01:04:11,514
I quit drinking
1111
01:04:12,181 --> 01:04:14,083
She had had a very severe crisis
1112
01:04:14,150 --> 01:04:17,954
and it was the first time
we admitted her to a clinic,
1113
01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:19,522
outside of São Paulo.
1114
01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:21,357
I quit smoking
1115
01:04:23,426 --> 01:04:25,428
I quit drinking
1116
01:04:26,229 --> 01:04:29,732
And she talked to a psychologist,
1117
01:04:29,999 --> 01:04:32,902
it was the first time in her life
that she opened up
1118
01:04:32,969 --> 01:04:36,172
to someone other than her family
to help her.
1119
01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:38,007
That little devil
1120
01:04:38,441 --> 01:04:42,879
I think there was also a certain fatigue
from staying in the same place.
1121
01:04:42,945 --> 01:04:45,715
That's when my mom really
1122
01:04:46,148 --> 01:04:49,385
ended her struggle with alcohol...
1123
01:04:49,452 --> 01:04:53,823
The best songs I've ever made
were on drugs,
1124
01:04:54,123 --> 01:04:55,758
and the worst ones too.
1125
01:04:55,825 --> 01:04:58,327
The downers, those things she ingested,
1126
01:04:58,394 --> 01:05:01,130
once and for all,
when my daughter was born.
1127
01:05:01,697 --> 01:05:05,501
I haven't taken anything, I'm sober.
1128
01:05:07,003 --> 01:05:11,007
It's been ten years since I...
1129
01:05:12,308 --> 01:05:16,445
Have had total control
over prohibited drugs.
1130
01:05:16,512 --> 01:05:18,381
Because if I didn't have control,
1131
01:05:18,948 --> 01:05:20,449
I'd end up back in the hospice.
1132
01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:27,857
For me, Reza is the ultimate album.
1133
01:05:28,658 --> 01:05:34,063
I had the feeling when recording Reza
that it would be the last album,
1134
01:05:34,597 --> 01:05:36,232
and it ended up being that.
1135
01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:47,043
And Rita said the song was too country,
1136
01:05:47,643 --> 01:05:51,213
so I went for doo-wop, which is...
1137
01:05:59,155 --> 01:06:00,957
May God protect me
1138
01:06:01,891 --> 01:06:03,225
From your envy
1139
01:06:03,826 --> 01:06:05,361
May God defend me
1140
01:06:05,861 --> 01:06:07,563
From your voodoo
1141
01:06:07,897 --> 01:06:10,800
They recorded in their home studio,
with the Moog,
1142
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,668
they set their own schedule,
1143
01:06:12,735 --> 01:06:17,106
so there was no corporate pressure
to deliver a record.
1144
01:06:17,173 --> 01:06:21,410
A new phase was beginning,
which is reaching 60 years.
1145
01:06:21,477 --> 01:06:24,547
Roberto called me and asked me
to mix the album for them.
1146
01:06:24,613 --> 01:06:28,884
I had no input into the production,
nothing,
1147
01:06:28,951 --> 01:06:30,853
it was already done,
Roberto did everything.
1148
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,956
Until after that came Multishow.
1149
01:06:41,130 --> 01:06:43,165
You can see that she gave her all,
1150
01:06:43,232 --> 01:06:46,002
she left her life on stage.
1151
01:06:46,469 --> 01:06:49,005
A fine day I decided to change
1152
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:52,975
And do all I wanted to do
1153
01:06:53,042 --> 01:06:54,377
Rita is going a mile a minute.
1154
01:06:54,443 --> 01:06:58,914
Up and down, plays, stands up,
sings, makes jokes and all.
1155
01:06:58,981 --> 01:07:02,785
She's not a static artist
who sits on a stool and plays.
1156
01:07:02,852 --> 01:07:05,121
No, Rita Lee was never that.
1157
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:09,692
I know I was born to find out
1158
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:14,997
Also around that time I'd been hearing
this "I want to quit" talk.
1159
01:07:15,364 --> 01:07:16,399
For a long time.
1160
01:07:16,465 --> 01:07:19,602
But now I'm so serene,
1161
01:07:20,069 --> 01:07:21,904
I live in the middle of the woods,
1162
01:07:22,405 --> 01:07:25,941
so I'm like...
Which is good too, it's a dynamic:
1163
01:07:26,008 --> 01:07:29,445
either 8 or 80, either I'm partying,
1164
01:07:29,779 --> 01:07:34,417
rocking the hell out of it,
1165
01:07:34,483 --> 01:07:35,851
or I'm a...
1166
01:07:36,585 --> 01:07:39,989
Country bumpkin, down to earth,
taking care of the garden,
1167
01:07:40,322 --> 01:07:41,724
something really...
1168
01:07:43,526 --> 01:07:47,396
It's possible to stop, yes,
it's possible to stop with the shows.
1169
01:07:47,463 --> 01:07:50,066
I remember those last shows.
1170
01:07:50,132 --> 01:07:52,802
It was a great moment
of celebration and all that,
1171
01:07:53,335 --> 01:07:55,438
but as soon as she left the stage,
1172
01:07:55,504 --> 01:07:58,307
she would drop the microphone
and collapse on the floor
1173
01:07:58,374 --> 01:07:59,909
from physical exhaustion.
1174
01:08:00,643 --> 01:08:02,578
I remember the security guard
picking her up,
1175
01:08:03,012 --> 01:08:06,148
lifting her off the floor,
and taking her to the dressing room.
1176
01:08:06,215 --> 01:08:08,384
From jumping around like crazy
for two hours.
1177
01:08:08,451 --> 01:08:11,053
Now you should come along
1178
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,090
Now you should come along
1179
01:08:15,257 --> 01:08:18,394
Now you should come along
1180
01:08:18,661 --> 01:08:21,297
Now you should come along
1181
01:08:22,565 --> 01:08:25,968
But on the day that the show
at Circo Voador took place,
1182
01:08:26,435 --> 01:08:31,941
Rita, on her own,
decided to grab the microphone
1183
01:08:32,007 --> 01:08:34,910
and say that it was the last show.
1184
01:08:39,048 --> 01:08:40,716
I wanted to say that...
1185
01:08:42,718 --> 01:08:44,386
This is the penultimate show,
1186
01:08:46,122 --> 01:08:47,990
but I consider it the last.
1187
01:08:49,158 --> 01:08:50,693
It's that moment you say, wow!
1188
01:08:50,759 --> 01:08:53,963
I remember thinking,
"Wow, all of a sudden like this?"
1189
01:08:54,029 --> 01:08:55,764
The last of the tour,
1190
01:08:57,399 --> 01:08:59,201
and I'm retiring...
1191
01:09:00,703 --> 01:09:01,937
From the stage.
1192
01:09:03,639 --> 01:09:04,673
It's time.
1193
01:09:09,111 --> 01:09:10,713
Retiring...
1194
01:09:11,947 --> 01:09:14,850
It would be good,
I'm 67 years old, it's good!
1195
01:09:15,851 --> 01:09:17,019
It was so good!
1196
01:09:17,686 --> 01:09:19,355
There is nothing more dignified
1197
01:09:19,421 --> 01:09:23,559
than knowing when
it's time to hang up the boots.
1198
01:09:41,076 --> 01:09:43,879
Rita, we love you!
1199
01:09:44,246 --> 01:09:46,916
Rita, we love you!
1200
01:09:47,316 --> 01:09:50,019
Rita, we love you!
1201
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:53,088
Rita, we love you!
1202
01:10:06,135 --> 01:10:07,136
Come.
1203
01:10:07,603 --> 01:10:08,871
Now he won't come.
1204
01:10:23,352 --> 01:10:24,687
I think she understood
1205
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,891
that even for her own mind,
she needed to slow down a little.
1206
01:10:28,958 --> 01:10:30,326
Change the question
1207
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:33,162
Why
1208
01:10:33,229 --> 01:10:34,230
Change the question
1209
01:10:35,431 --> 01:10:36,599
Why not
1210
01:10:36,665 --> 01:10:42,771
But then João did a beautiful job
remixing our songs.
1211
01:10:43,339 --> 01:10:46,742
He introduced us to Gui Boratto,
who is a DJ,
1212
01:10:47,409 --> 01:10:50,479
and I had this recording of "Change,"
1213
01:10:51,146 --> 01:10:55,417
and we decided to pass
the recording on to him.
1214
01:10:55,484 --> 01:10:58,153
Lost in your mind you will find
1215
01:10:58,220 --> 01:10:59,955
The meaning of life
1216
01:11:00,556 --> 01:11:02,925
They were like two kids in the studio,
1217
01:11:02,992 --> 01:11:07,296
getting back some of the excitement
and joy and happiness,
1218
01:11:07,363 --> 01:11:10,733
the fun they had when they were younger.
1219
01:11:10,799 --> 01:11:13,969
From life to death just like
1220
01:11:14,436 --> 01:11:16,939
A blazing flame
1221
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:19,541
Change
1222
01:11:22,111 --> 01:11:26,315
TWO WEEKS BEFORE RITA'S PASSING
1223
01:11:26,382 --> 01:11:27,716
Did you read this letter?
1224
01:11:28,717 --> 01:11:30,452
-You don't know this letter?
-No.
1225
01:11:31,420 --> 01:11:32,454
-I read it?
-Yes.
1226
01:11:34,423 --> 01:11:36,091
"Beloved of my heart..."
1227
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:40,596
"I wish I knew how to say beautifully
to each of you
1228
01:11:40,663 --> 01:11:43,032
what I feel deep down in my heart,
1229
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:45,968
but I express myself better..."
1230
01:11:46,035 --> 01:11:48,203
I can't do it. I can't.
1231
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:02,151
"But I express myself better by writing
about the pride and luck I have
1232
01:12:02,618 --> 01:12:06,455
in being surrounded by four gentlemen
who make me realize I am the most...
1233
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:08,757
...complete woman in the world."
1234
01:12:11,527 --> 01:12:12,728
Today,
1235
01:12:13,062 --> 01:12:14,930
together with my love
1236
01:12:15,564 --> 01:12:17,566
and my other three loves,
1237
01:12:20,436 --> 01:12:24,907
I am one of the happiest people
1238
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:26,375
on this planet.
1239
01:12:26,775 --> 01:12:29,511
People say I'm crazy
1240
01:12:30,279 --> 01:12:32,481
She didn't feel well one day,
1241
01:12:32,548 --> 01:12:33,816
so she went to her doctor,
1242
01:12:33,882 --> 01:12:36,218
the ENT specialist who took care
of her voice and all,
1243
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:41,156
and this doctor did some tests
and thought something was off.
1244
01:12:41,223 --> 01:12:43,292
So when she went to the doctor
to see about it
1245
01:12:43,359 --> 01:12:45,594
she had a certain...
I think she had bronchitis.
1246
01:12:46,028 --> 01:12:48,797
So that's when the doctor saw
1247
01:12:49,298 --> 01:12:51,133
she had something in her lung.
1248
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,437
It was in the first half of 2021.
1249
01:12:56,138 --> 01:12:58,874
Well, it was like an atomic bomb
in the family.
1250
01:12:58,941 --> 01:13:01,543
NO SMOKING
1251
01:13:01,610 --> 01:13:03,145
When the pandemic started,
1252
01:13:03,212 --> 01:13:06,915
I received signs, like, to stop smoking.
1253
01:13:07,483 --> 01:13:11,420
So I read the newspaper and it said,
"Someone stopped smoking."
1254
01:13:11,487 --> 01:13:14,990
I was on the road, and on the back
of a truck said, "Stop smoking."
1255
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:16,759
Watching TV,
1256
01:13:17,059 --> 01:13:20,028
some actress said,
"I need to stop smoking."
1257
01:13:20,362 --> 01:13:26,268
And I, being that tough Capricorn bitch,
started smoking three times as much.
1258
01:13:26,635 --> 01:13:28,270
I'm so crazy
1259
01:13:31,039 --> 01:13:32,775
Because I'm happy
1260
01:13:33,475 --> 01:13:34,777
"You, Roberto,
1261
01:13:34,843 --> 01:13:37,312
are the cutest boyfriend there is,
1262
01:13:37,379 --> 01:13:39,515
always elegant and discreet,
1263
01:13:39,948 --> 01:13:44,787
you have to be very manly
to put up with a scandalous woman,
1264
01:13:45,287 --> 01:13:48,424
an ex-convict, five years older,
1265
01:13:48,490 --> 01:13:50,359
not always easy to deal with."
1266
01:13:50,893 --> 01:13:55,397
Crazier is the one who says
1267
01:13:55,464 --> 01:13:58,567
"You, Beto, will always be
my little blond mosquito,
1268
01:13:58,634 --> 01:14:02,504
the one who at a time when my life
was going through difficult times
1269
01:14:02,571 --> 01:14:04,339
took care of me with tenderness
1270
01:14:05,541 --> 01:14:07,743
and respect without ever judging me."
1271
01:14:07,810 --> 01:14:09,077
It's much better
1272
01:14:10,312 --> 01:14:12,848
Not being normal
1273
01:14:13,649 --> 01:14:15,017
I cried so much.
1274
01:14:15,451 --> 01:14:20,556
I told Roberto that I couldn't take it.
I can't get over it.
1275
01:14:21,023 --> 01:14:23,358
Of course,
she already started the treatments,
1276
01:14:23,425 --> 01:14:28,297
but the cells ended up
returning somehow.
1277
01:14:28,363 --> 01:14:30,566
But in those moments
I'm the kind of person
1278
01:14:30,632 --> 01:14:32,601
who takes a step forward, I go...
1279
01:14:33,235 --> 01:14:34,403
I help.
1280
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:37,806
If they pray a lot
1281
01:14:39,842 --> 01:14:41,076
"You, Juca,
1282
01:14:41,577 --> 01:14:43,245
my dark-haired little boy,
1283
01:14:43,846 --> 01:14:46,448
are a more withdrawn guy, but...
1284
01:14:47,282 --> 01:14:50,118
no less bold
when you notice some injustice.
1285
01:14:50,185 --> 01:14:53,288
Just like me,
your great passion is animals
1286
01:14:53,355 --> 01:14:55,090
and I understand you perfectly.
1287
01:14:56,792 --> 01:14:59,828
Thank you for being such an enlightened
and blessed person."
1288
01:15:00,562 --> 01:15:03,732
Yes, I'm so crazy
1289
01:15:03,799 --> 01:15:06,201
With me the camera...
1290
01:15:07,836 --> 01:15:11,173
There is a woman who has always been
the center of the family,
1291
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:12,674
who has that strength,
1292
01:15:12,741 --> 01:15:15,010
and we think that nothing
will happen to her.
1293
01:15:15,677 --> 01:15:17,079
I don't want another life.
1294
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:19,414
Seeing her physically fragile
1295
01:15:19,848 --> 01:15:20,983
is very difficult.
1296
01:15:23,485 --> 01:15:24,953
"Tui, my youngest,
1297
01:15:25,020 --> 01:15:28,323
you, like a good Leo,
are a sunny figure.
1298
01:15:28,390 --> 01:15:31,326
Since you were little, you've been
a bit grumpy, independent,
1299
01:15:31,894 --> 01:15:33,395
always knowing what you wanted.
1300
01:15:33,462 --> 01:15:36,532
Thank you for being such a zen person
and a good talker.
1301
01:15:36,865 --> 01:15:39,902
I completely understand
why girls find you seductive."
1302
01:15:43,038 --> 01:15:46,308
I am happy
1303
01:15:47,109 --> 01:15:51,079
"Thank you, Beto, Juca and Tui,
1304
01:15:51,346 --> 01:15:54,349
for being born from me,
and thank you, Roberto,
1305
01:15:54,816 --> 01:15:56,084
for being their father.
1306
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,389
God bless us and protect us, Mom."
1307
01:16:08,830 --> 01:16:11,099
We stop being children
1308
01:16:12,167 --> 01:16:16,538
when we become aware
for the first time of death,
1309
01:16:18,006 --> 01:16:19,641
that we will die one day.
1310
01:16:20,809 --> 01:16:23,679
Everything that is alive,
everything that exists in the universe
1311
01:16:24,212 --> 01:16:26,214
is transformed,
1312
01:16:26,615 --> 01:16:30,052
and our transformation is in spirit.
1313
01:16:34,089 --> 01:16:36,224
We are here for her.
1314
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,195
There's not much to do, we must prepare
1315
01:16:40,696 --> 01:16:42,631
for what is to come.
1316
01:16:43,098 --> 01:16:45,734
We must prepare ourselves
and there's no preparation for this.
1317
01:16:46,368 --> 01:16:47,402
No preparation.
1318
01:16:47,469 --> 01:16:51,073
I had an easygoing life
1319
01:16:54,509 --> 01:16:58,080
I liked to enjoy the good things
1320
01:16:58,146 --> 01:17:01,583
IBIRAPUERA PLANETARIUM
MAY 10, 2023
1321
01:17:01,650 --> 01:17:07,022
Lord, how long I spent without knowing
1322
01:17:09,625 --> 01:17:15,564
Oh, that's when my dad said to me
1323
01:17:15,831 --> 01:17:17,566
Daughter
1324
01:17:18,767 --> 01:17:23,605
You're the black sheep of the family
1325
01:17:24,172 --> 01:17:26,341
Rita is everything to me.
1326
01:17:26,408 --> 01:17:29,111
She is the reason I exist,
1327
01:17:29,411 --> 01:17:33,181
the reason I breathe,
the reason I wake up,
1328
01:17:33,448 --> 01:17:34,883
the reason I go to sleep.
1329
01:17:35,183 --> 01:17:37,653
Baby, baby
1330
01:17:38,420 --> 01:17:41,723
It's pointless to cry
1331
01:17:54,770 --> 01:17:57,806
Her existence for me will be eternal,
1332
01:17:59,207 --> 01:18:02,244
her presence for me will be eternal,
1333
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:05,380
and my love for her will be eternal.
1334
01:18:21,496 --> 01:18:22,731
Death is not a punishment,
1335
01:18:23,899 --> 01:18:26,001
death is going back home.
1336
01:18:28,003 --> 01:18:29,938
How are you
1337
01:18:31,773 --> 01:18:33,909
Just like me
1338
01:18:35,177 --> 01:18:37,713
An ordinary person
1339
01:18:39,414 --> 01:18:41,983
A son of God
1340
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:44,519
She leaves so much, she...
1341
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,221
Rita...
1342
01:18:48,523 --> 01:18:49,691
Impossible.
1343
01:18:49,758 --> 01:18:52,961
A person who was born
with an incredible light.
1344
01:18:53,028 --> 01:18:57,699
A person who challenged,
a transgressor...
1345
01:18:57,766 --> 01:18:59,668
Someone so, so beautiful.
1346
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:02,237
How are you
1347
01:19:02,771 --> 01:19:06,975
She leaves this extraordinary role
of a feminist leader.
1348
01:19:07,042 --> 01:19:10,312
A great reference
for philosophy of life,
1349
01:19:10,378 --> 01:19:11,613
ideology,
1350
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,682
a path to follow, and identification.
1351
01:19:13,749 --> 01:19:14,883
A strong woman.
1352
01:19:14,950 --> 01:19:16,985
This sinking canoe
1353
01:19:18,019 --> 01:19:21,089
Broke down rowing against the tide
1354
01:19:21,156 --> 01:19:24,159
My mother is a brilliant person,
she is very different,
1355
01:19:24,226 --> 01:19:26,828
you can see her whole creative side.
1356
01:19:26,895 --> 01:19:30,098
Life, existence, music,
1357
01:19:30,665 --> 01:19:31,933
poetry,
1358
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:33,335
dream.
1359
01:19:33,635 --> 01:19:37,572
I don't want luxury or trash
1360
01:19:37,639 --> 01:19:40,709
I dream to be immortal, my love
1361
01:19:40,776 --> 01:19:44,112
No one will replace Rita
as the Queen of Rock.
1362
01:19:44,179 --> 01:19:45,714
Brazil's biggest rock star.
1363
01:19:45,781 --> 01:19:50,352
She's famous for a song lyrics
that gave strength
1364
01:19:50,418 --> 01:19:53,021
to someone who was going through
tough times,
1365
01:19:53,088 --> 01:19:57,092
so I feel privileged to be the son
1366
01:19:57,159 --> 01:19:59,761
of someone who brought that
to so many people.
1367
01:20:00,595 --> 01:20:03,098
An ordinary person
1368
01:20:04,299 --> 01:20:06,434
Another son of God
1369
01:20:08,003 --> 01:20:11,273
In this sinking canoe
1370
01:20:11,573 --> 01:20:13,542
Rowing against the tide
1371
01:20:13,608 --> 01:20:15,510
She made a lot of people happy.
1372
01:20:15,577 --> 01:20:18,180
I don't believe in anything
1373
01:20:18,513 --> 01:20:21,283
I'm sure she made a lot of people happy.
1374
01:20:21,349 --> 01:20:24,753
I even doubt faith
1375
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:25,854
Yeah...
1376
01:20:25,921 --> 01:20:29,758
I don't want luxury or trash
1377
01:20:30,559 --> 01:20:33,195
My dream is to be immortal, my love
1378
01:20:33,261 --> 01:20:36,064
I don't want luxury or trash
1379
01:20:36,131 --> 01:20:37,132
That's it.
1380
01:20:38,033 --> 01:20:40,936
I want health to enjoy the end
1381
01:20:41,002 --> 01:20:44,773
I don't want luxury or trash
1382
01:20:45,607 --> 01:20:48,710
My dream is to be immortal, my love
1383
01:20:48,777 --> 01:20:52,247
I don't want luxury or trash
1384
01:20:52,247 --> 01:20:56,384
I want health to enjoy the end
