I find myself every day with the discovery of so much talent in the northeast of our Brazil, seems to me that there exists a different energy, that inspires and stirs the people of this region to create wonderful works, with many colors and regional issues. Maybe it's the influence of the origin of these cities and their ancestors. The contagious happiness of the people is second to none.
