I discovered the political relevance of popular music many years ago,
listening to Arlo Guthrie's classic protest song of the Vietnam Era, "Alice's
Restaurant". But it was only a couple of years later, when I first came to
Brazil in 1978 to spend a year as an exchange student, that I really began to
understand the relation between music and politics. The highpoint of this
relation in Brazil was during the years of the military dictatorship
(1964-1985).

Quite normal in Brazil. Impunity was/is and will remain the norm ! Just look a the thousands of people killed.....in land dispute......not because of dictatorship....but in the "Democracy" and the Rule of Laws in Brazil !
Few murderers went to jail, and even fewer are still in jail !!!!!
Sad reality from your......(IN)JUSTICE DEPARTMENT !!!!!
