See our first interview with Marcelo Yukaऀ

Also see below the trailer of his noteworthy and optimistic documentary released in Brazil.

 Musician and activist, Marcelo Yuka is the co-founder of the rock band O Rappa. We owe him, among others, Me Deixa (Leave me) and Aminha Alma (My soul). In 2005, he starts the band F.U.R.T.O (Urban Front of Organised Workers) and releases the album Sangue Audiência.

 Yuka also carries on the fight on the field: he joined B.O.C.A. (Organised Brigade of Activist Culture), non-profit making organisation, after the initiation of cultural activities in Rio de Janeiro’s prisons. “We have been fighting against violence and weapons for 500 years now, only to protect the privileged ones. It is now time to take positive and intelligent initiatives in favour of the less privileged. One of B.O.C.A’s next objectives is to put together projects that will ease the access to education and culture for the less fortunate” promises Pedro de Lita, musician.
