Gino César, the reporter for Bandeira 2

Teens invade a residence

starting a shoot-out, leaving one dead and two injured.

Coming up on Bandeira 2 with Givanildo Bezerra,

and we’ll be back at 7:00am

Hello.

Silvo!

Hey, good morning.

Are you home?

Are you at home or on the streets?

I’m at home but I’m about to leave.

Are you done with the iron? Have you already ironed the clothes?

No, but I can return it later today.

We’ll have your money tonight.

Really? Your bill is pretty big.

Today it is.

Business is tough, I don’t have any money.

Alright, have a good day.

Bye, good day to you.

Get some good work done.

Alright.

Bye.

Alberto dos Santos Leite, 31 years old

lived on São João Marques dos Anjos Street, in Pina.

He was shot and killed by someone named Danilo, a former convict.

The crime happened on Paraíso Road, by the daycare

at Vila da Prata in Brasília Teimosa.

It seems the motive for the crime

was related to drug trafficking.

... he was killed by 3 shots from a firearm

My name is known as Silvo Silva.

I’m known for singing.

I think i’m talented

and I do it of my own free will.

I like singing.

... he arrived at the scene on a horse and tried to hide on the ranch

but was found by police and apprehended.

The motive for the crime, according to the rancher,

was a misunderstanding with the victim.

A 29 year-old from Guaranhuns

was stabbed several times and killed with a fishing knife.

I began singing 5 years ago

after my divorce

and I had no other obligations.

I started singing on the streets

and getting some attention.

Because now I had time.

I used to only have time to take care of my family.

If I had started back then I don’t know that I wouldn’t be a star by now.

Maybe a record, that I could sing in my style

which is the style here in the Northeast that we call “brega”.

When I walk through the public market

I like taking my speaker box and just singing.

So I’ll just do my songs with the “playback”.

And that’s it - I like singing.

I met this friend who makes a living on YouTube

and the first recording he made of me

was like, “look at this poor singer, what a predicament he’s in.”

He started recording without asking me

and said “Look at this poor singer.”

Even a friend of mine thought I was on drugs, which I have never uesd.

What are you doing around here?

If I could get a signal.

Do Mel, I’ll be down at the market soon, ok?

Wait for me if you can.

I’ll be there in about 30 minutes to an hour.

I just left on my bicycle

You’re still hoping to see me, right?

See ya.

Hey guys, for those who said the singer wouldn’t be at the market

He is here, see? Look.

Check him out, The brega phenomenon is here at the market.

Once again making his presence felt.

For those who follow him, for those who know what’s up.

Directly from the market here in Recife, Pernambuco

The old man is having a blast.

He’s putting on a show here.

Folks, the speaker box has broken. There’s no more sound.

Something has happened, folks.

We were filming him and the speaker just fell over.

I’m not sure what happened, it just fell.

Look it’s really messed up.

That’s the situation.

The sun is hot and here we are.

Look, it’s broken.

It even busted the wires.

The wire is busted.

The speaker box fell over and broke.

It kept playing for a little bit

but by the time I got home and turned it on

neither the aux nor the card reader were working nor the

microphone were working at all.

Even without the aux and the card reader

I could still sing with the bluetooth.

So it fell, but I got it working again.

It was a little rough, but by the time I got it home

with everything packed on my bike, and as long as the battery lasted.

But by the time I got home there was nothing left.

I’m not sure if something happened to a wire

or maybe it’s the aux or the microphone, or maybe it’s the card reader.

Silvo, my friend, is the speaker box actually broken?

You’re certain it broke, right?

Now it’s going to be hard to sing at the market

and a bunch of followers came by asking about you.

We’ll have to do a fundraiser

because without a speaker you can’t sing or do anything.

Message me back soon.

Thanks.

Ok, good afternoon my friend Do Mel.

Yeah, unfortunately it’s busted.

If we can get another speaker, I can do a live stream to raise money

asking for donations from my followers

so that Silvo Silva can continue singing for them.

So if you want me to go live or I can send a video of me... asking for...

You can add a... what do you call it... a donation button

And I’ll put it on mine as well, because you have your followers and I have mine.

Ok?

Message me back, I’ll be waiting.

I think I’m good-looking.

That’s why I’m always working on my look.

Even if others don’t think so, how can I look in the mirror without

working on my look and thinking I’m good-looking.

This is my style.

I was a fan of Elvis Presley

so I have a habit of leaving my collar up.

So that’s where I got this look, it comes from Elvis Presley.

Dear followers, I’m coming to you live

asking if you can help with my broken speaker box.

As you know, my life is about singing for you.

I ask if any of you can help me from the bottom of your hearts.

Now let me do what I do best and sing for you.

Ok?

Sunshine

on my shoulders

makes me happy.

Sunshine

in my eyes can make me cry.

Sunshine

on the water

looks so lovely.

Sunshine

almost always

makes me high.

If I had a day

that I could give you,

I’d give to you

a day just like today.

If I had

a song

that I could sing for you,

I’d sing a song

to make you feel

this way.

Thank you everybody.

Sorry for my English there, and sorry if I got offbeat a little.

But I thank you all and ask you each for a donation.

Leave a little red heart on there and share this across your social media

to help Silvo Silva 23.

Thank you.

Guys, you’re asking why I chose this song, “Sunshine”.

It’s because, when I bought my first vinyl record, with my own money,

I went to buy meat and my mother said I could keep the change.

Instead of spending it on candy or ice cream

like any other teenager would

I bought the John Denver “Sunshine” record.

I memorized it, even though I didn’t speak English

but to me it’s a song that meant a lot

Ok?

There’s the answer to a question from that follower.

Good afternoon, Mr. Silva.

Good afternoon.

The release form for the film.

And your payment.

Ok.

(reading the terms)

Ok, if God so wishes

and since you guys believe in me.

Can’t sign without verifying the funds.

We’re missing 100 here.

But you’ll get it to me, no problem.

I’m missing 100 or 200?

You won’t say, will you?

Thank you.

Thanks, but that wasn’t the deal.

Have a good afternoon.

Money is tight.

Man.

I don’t really dream anymore about owning anything.

I just want to live one day at a time

until the end comes.

When I go to sleep, I say that if I wake up it’s a blessing.

But if I don’t wake up

even better.

Let me dream.

I’m unfortunately desolate, right?

I’m more broken than third-rate rice.

But I overcome.

If the heart was a piece of nerve or bone it wouldn’t heal.

But it’s just flesh. It will scar and heal.

And like I said, today she is just a friend.

We just can’t live together anymore.

That’s a message for those who identify with Silvo Silva.

Silvo Silva is romantic, he loves any kind of music

It’s my way of expressing myself.

Even when I have to be angry with someone, when I get upset

I reconcile it with romantic music

and that’s Silvo Silva for you.

Sílvio Barbosa dos Santos

That’s me, right?
