M Gildo Alfinete in M Zoião, 1999: «[M Pastinha] traveled to Africa and had a thrombosis which affected his sight. All the same, Mestre Pastinha participated on the show, stepping up playing atabaque. This was in the Black Arts Festival, where capoeira opened the show where I (Gildo Alfinete) and Mestre João Grande were participants.»
Brazil supposedly took the stage also on a stadium on another day.
