Roda viva - Brazilian anti dictatorship song

Francisco Buarque de Hollanda (born 19 June 1944), popularly known simply as Chico Buarque, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer, playwright, writer, and poet. He is best known for his music, which often includes social, economic, and cultural reflections on Brazil. The Brazilian Military Regime - or, as it's known in Portuguese, Regime Militar Brasileiro or Ditadura Militar was the period of time which Brazil was governed by an authoritarian military dictatorship from April 1, 1964 to March 15, 1985. It was one of many others that took place all over in Latin America during the Cold War, as part of the US-backed Operation Condor, a campaign of political repression to hunt down Marxists, Communists, leftists or any enemies of the right-wing rulers of these countries. This regime is often regarded as one of the darkest periods in Brazilian history, if not the darkest, characterized by stifling freedom of speech and press, political persecution, banishing of countless individuals, and numerous human rights violations, such as torture, arbitrary trials, and disappearances.
