with Beto, we were married, 398 00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:44,062 Roberto was still in Rio, playing with Ney. 399 00:22:49,167 --> 00:22:54,206 We were rehearsing and Virgínia called me 400 00:22:54,272 --> 00:22:56,208 and told me that Rita had been arrested. 401 00:22:56,775 --> 00:23:00,145 I immediately got on a bus and came to São Paulo. 402 00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:05,283 THREE WEEKS BEFORE RITA'S PASSING 403 00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:11,022 "I didn't know you were coming to São Paulo on Sunday, 404 00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:15,460 that's why I didn't put your name on the visitors list. 405 00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:19,064 And besides, I look awful, imagine that. 406 00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:23,034 I wouldn't even let you see me like that. 407 00:23:23,101 --> 00:23:25,804 I don't know what's going to happen to me anymore, 408 00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:30,175 because everyone who comes in tells me the story in a different way. 409 00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:33,145 I'm already getting used to the idea of having my son in prison. 410 00:23:34,146 --> 00:23:37,182 I want you to know that I don't intend to cling to you 411 00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,050 or demand anything from you. 412 00:23:39,117 --> 00:23:41,686 Besides everything, you're my best friend 413 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,455 and I'll never forget that. 414 00:23:44,156 --> 00:23:46,425 Please take care of you, okay?" 415 00:23:50,162 --> 00:23:52,998 But there is a whole context in this letter 416 00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:56,501 that is transported to the present day. 417 00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:58,570 It's a farewell letter. 418 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,783 RITA LEE IS STAYING IN PRISON 419 00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,486 A YEAR OF HOUSE ARREST, RITA LEE'S CONVICTION 420 00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:17,689 Rita was tried and sentenced to one year, 421 00:24:17,756 --> 00:24:21,092 but then it became one year in a semi-open regime. 422 00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:25,997 So, when Rita got out of prison, we went to live with her parents, 423 00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:31,102 because her house had been completely destroyed by the police. 424 00:24:31,169 --> 00:24:36,408 It started out in a very difficult financial situation. 425 00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:41,012 She spent all her money on a lawyer, it was very complicated. 426 00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,048 No money, no money, no money. 427 00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:45,984 Then, for a short period of time, 428 00:24:46,051 --> 00:24:49,754 they stayed in a very small apartment and Beto was born. 429 00:24:50,255 --> 00:24:52,557 She focused 430 00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:54,559 on motherhood. 431 00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:58,630 And Roberto at that time, something I think is very important, 432 00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:02,133 he comes in as a structure, of course, as a life partner, 433 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,436 husband, father of her son and all, 434 00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,837 and also a business structure. 435 00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:08,206 But I said it was not possible that she... 436 00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:12,644 That she was in such a deplorable financial situation. 437 00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:16,348 And then he also started as a manager at Refestança, 438 00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,416 Rita's concert with Gilberto Gil. 439 00:25:18,483 --> 00:25:21,753 Very close to Gilberto 440 00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:25,357 Very close to Gilberto 441 00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:29,861 We got together and worked with the two bands, 442 00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:32,797 Tutti Frutti and Banda do Gil. 443 00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:36,001 We sang and played in several places in Brazil. 444 00:25:36,067 --> 00:25:38,436 Gil was very kind to her, 445 00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:41,439 the helping hand she needed at that time. 446 00:25:41,907 --> 00:25:45,110 It was very difficult for her to be accepted, 447 00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:48,013 those who liked Rita Lee hid the fact that they liked her. 448 00:25:48,313 --> 00:25:51,950 And I think that Gil's arrival helped a lot. 449 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,122 But none of the shows were recorded. 450 00:25:57,188 --> 00:25:59,024 We only recorded at Maracanãzinho, 451 00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:01,026 which had a large audience, whatever. 452 00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:02,093 A mistake. 453 00:26:02,794 --> 00:26:05,564 There is a certain swing, a movement, 454 00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:07,265 the stage moves a little. 455 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:12,070 At a certain point, one of the fins fell onto the stage. 456 00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:15,373 The show at Maracanãzinho was packed, really packed. 457 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,876 And at a certain time, the stage collapsed. 458 00:26:19,311 --> 00:26:23,181 With the collapse of the stage in Rio, Refestança also ended. 459 00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:29,421 After Refestança, Rita releases with Babilônia, 460 00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:33,091 which would be Rita's last album 461 00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:35,794 with Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti on the cover. 462 00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:39,965 Babilônia was recorded... 463 00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:45,136 It is from 1978, already produced by Guto Graça Melo. 464 00:26:45,203 --> 00:26:46,871 But it was still the Rita... 465 00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:49,741 For example, there was "Miss Brasil 2000," 466 00:26:49,808 --> 00:26:52,711 there were songs... It was more these things. 467 00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:55,480 Roberto was working on this album. 468 00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:59,017 I was taking care of the business side, 469 00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:02,387 putting on shows, all that stuff. 470 00:27:03,054 --> 00:27:07,292 The keyboard player left the band, I played the keyboard. 471 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,128 Then I joined and started playing too. 472 00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:12,530 It's not a plane 473 00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:14,332 It's not a star 474 00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:19,437 That's the light of a UFO 475 00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:23,241 And we wrote a song called "Disco Voador." 476 00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,611 It was the first song we wrote together. 477 00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:29,514 A UFO 478 00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:32,484 Rita had always been into flying saucers. 479 00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:35,587 I would still like to, I still dream... 480 00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:39,858 Of being abducted by a flying saucer. 481 00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:46,231 It was a theme that was part of this universe that she... 482 00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:50,001 She saw a flying saucer, I never saw one. 483 00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:54,472 Then Rita already had a mix 484 00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:56,941 of rock and disco. 485 00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,550 When the album came out, 486 00:28:05,617 --> 00:28:07,819 the band saw it only said "Rita Lee" on the cover, 487 00:28:07,886 --> 00:28:09,621 it didn't say "Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti," 488 00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:12,090 which was what we thought we were doing. 489 00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:16,661 They hanged the Gardens of Babylon 490 00:28:17,062 --> 00:28:20,632 Rita was recruited by the label, not Tutti Frutti, 491 00:28:21,199 --> 00:28:24,836 but Rita Lee and Tutti Frutti didn't formally exist, 492 00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:28,840 and they wanted to have "flight autonomy." 493 00:28:29,407 --> 00:28:31,876 That's when I saw that she... 494 00:28:31,943 --> 00:28:34,946 It was the beginning of separating Rita Lee as a solo artist 495 00:28:35,013 --> 00:28:36,981 and there is no band anymore. 496 00:28:38,516 --> 00:28:41,886 My health is not like iron 497 00:28:42,353 --> 00:28:44,422 But my nerves are made of steel 498 00:28:44,489 --> 00:28:46,257 You split up with Rita Lee 499 00:28:46,324 --> 00:28:48,293 because you didn't want to go so commercial... 500 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:50,595 -What is going on? -It's not quite like that, 501 00:28:50,662 --> 00:28:53,598 it's just we're a band playing rock with Rita, 502 00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:54,833 so... 503 00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:58,269 I wanted Tutti Frutti to take the path of being a real rock band, 504 00:28:58,670 --> 00:28:59,838 just rock and roll. 505 00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:01,740 And then we split up. 506 00:29:02,373 --> 00:29:07,712 The clown laughs while the people cry And the show goes on 507 00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:10,048 Carlini felt a bit threatened, 508 00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:13,251 thinking he would leave the band, that they would kick him out, 509 00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:17,856 so he ended up registering the name Tutti Frutti in his name. 510 00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:20,425 Rita was...

Mary was like a guru. 653 00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:40,524 Mary knew what songs were popular at the time, 654 00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,494 she watched the films that were only for people over 18 655 00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:44,962 and told the two girls about them. 656 00:37:45,229 --> 00:37:50,668 My older sister, Mary, was a film buff, she knew everything about cinema. 657 00:37:50,735 --> 00:37:55,273 She was the one who brought these characters to Rita, 658 00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:58,709 and then they would do these plays in the basement, 659 00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:02,346 where they could, as Rita would say, let it all out. 660 00:38:02,913 --> 00:38:06,284 She was so crazy and my father was very strict. 661 00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:08,919 I stole the title of black sheep from her. 662 00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:12,757 I think a lot of what Rita has become as an artist, 663 00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:15,226 as a person, and what she shows on stage, 664 00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:17,628 came

called me. 670 00:38:37,615 --> 00:38:38,916 She was already gone. 671 00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:43,921 She already had health problems, she was taking some medication, 672 00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:45,089 and she was a drinker. 673 00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:47,758 She ended up being hospitalized and never left the hospital, 674 00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:48,826 she didn't resist. 675 00:38:50,494 --> 00:38:54,598 I think it was the first major encounter with death 676 00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:58,369 that Rita had in her life, and it was quite disruptive. 677 00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:00,771 It was the loss of a piece 678 00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:02,306 of the whole family. 679 00:39:11,415 --> 00:39:14,151 But soon after, Rita became pregnant with Antônio. 680 00:39:14,618 --> 00:39:16,821 She always stops everything, as she always says, 681 00:39:16,887 --> 00:39:20,658 the moment of pregnancy is always sacred. 682 00:39:21,392 --> 00:39:23,794 While Rita was pregnant with Antônio, 683 00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:28,299 we wrote and started recording Saúde. 684 00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:31,068 I'm fed up with all the gossip 685 00:39:32,269 --> 00:39:35,773 Excuse me, but I'll go crazy 686

01:00:51,648 --> 01:00:56,719 We talk about abortion, gay marriage, 1055 01:00:56,786 --> 01:00:57,854 and drugs, of course. 1056 01:00:58,388 --> 01:01:00,556 Separate the wheat from the chaff 1057 01:01:01,524 --> 01:01:03,126 That two-faced friend 1058 01:01:04,093 --> 01:01:06,029 And regarding drugs, I think, 1059 01:01:06,095 --> 01:01:10,333 I say in the song, "Say no to drugs, but be polite, say no, thank you." 1060 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:11,868 Thank you, no 1061 01:01:13,770 --> 01:01:15,138 Thank you, no 1062 01:01:15,972 --> 01:01:19,609 She was an example of freedom 1063 01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:22,378 within this square country we live in, 1064 01:01:22,445 --> 01:01:24,280 which is now even more square than before. 1065 01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:25,615 Thank you, no 1066 01:01:26,983 --> 01:01:28,217 Thank you, no 1067 01:01:28,284 --> 01:01:31,788 Then with Santa Rita de Sampa there was a huge tour, 1068 01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:32,989 very successful too. 1069 01:01:39,996 --> 01:01:41,664 Can you give me this little baby? 1070 01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:47,003 But I think that at that stage, they entered a more domestic phase, 1071 01:01:47,070 --> 01:01:48,071 and went to live 1072 01:01:48,871 --> 01:01:52,642 in their house on the farm, so they enjoyed that moment, 1073 01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:55,011 just them in a new place. 1074 01:01:55,078 --> 01:01:57,814 And here on the farm we recorded two albums. 1075 01:01:58,347 --> 01:01:59,415 This is Balacobaco, 1076 01:01:59,849 --> 01:02:02,885 it's the one with "Amor e Sexo," it's a great album. 1077 01:02:02,952 --> 01:02:07,623 Rita, don't do it sentence by sentence, it becomes very... 1078 01:02:08,725 --> 01:02:10,660 You have to sing a little. 1079 01:02:10,927 --> 01:02:15,898 Love without sex is friendship 1080 01:02:17,633 --> 01:02:19,869 Sex without love 1081 01:02:22,004 --> 01:02:23,473 Is desire 1082 01:02:23,873 --> 01:02:26,743 For those who lived in Brazil at the time, 1083 01:02:26,809 --> 01:02:29,045 you would go anywhere and hear "Amor e Sexo." 1084 01:02:29,112 --> 01:02:30,847 Sex is two 1085 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,382 Soap operas, radio... 1086 01:02:33,449 --> 01:02:35,551 "Amor e Sexo" was all over the place. 1087 01:02:35,618 --> 01:02:38,354 It was definitely the most played song of the year. 1088 01:02:39,322 --> 01:02:41,624 Love is soap opera 1089 01:02:43,059 --> 01:02:45,261 Sex is cinema 1090 01:02:47,630 --> 01:02:51,200 Love is Christian 1091 01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:53,903 Sex is pagan 1092 01:02:55,104 --> 01:02:57,406 Love is land property 1093 01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,976 Sex is an invasion 1094 01:03:00,476 --> 01:03:04,046 And Balacobaco once again went platinum, 1095 01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:08,885 and is a quality album, a journey through genres. 1096 01:03:08,951 --> 01:03:11,053 Love is Bossa Nova 1097 01:03:12,755 --> 01:03:15,825 Sex is carnival 1098 01:03:18,427 --> 01:03:21,898 After Balacobaco, there were many shows, and then came Reza. 1099 01:03:23,432 --> 01:03:26,803 And so on, and so forth 1100 01:03:31,407 --> 01:03:32,842 Oh, love 1101 01:03:34,677 --> 01:03:36,379 Sex 1102 01:03:43,953 --> 01:03:46,489 Between Balacobaco and Reza, 1103 01:03:47,290 --> 01:03:49,492 from 2003 to 2012, 1104 01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:53,062 a few things happened, including the birth of my daughter. 1105 01:03:54,997 --> 01:03:56,933 The arrival of a child really... 1106 01:03:56,999 --> 01:04:00,903 A grandchild changes the dynamics of a family, it's inevitable. 1107 01:04:01,204 --> 01:04:05,541 And I think that she, not only for Iza, I think she did it for herself, 1108 01:04:06,008 --> 01:04:07,109 she really... 1109 01:04:08,077 --> 01:04:09,645 She opened a new chapter. 1110 01:04:09,712 --> 01:04:11,514 I quit drinking 1111 01:04:12,181 --> 01:04:14,083 She had had a very severe crisis 1112 01:04:14,150 --> 01:04:17,954 and it was the first time we admitted her to a clinic, 1113 01:04:18,020 --> 01:04:19,522 outside of São Paulo. 1114 01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:21,357 I quit smoking 1115 01:04:23,426 --> 01:04:25,428 I quit drinking 1116 01:04:26,229 --> 01:04:29,732 And she talked to a psychologist, 1117 01:04:29,999 --> 01:04:32,902 it was the first time in her life that she opened up 1118 01:04:32,969 --> 01:04:36,172 to someone other than her family to help her. 1119 01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:38,007 That little devil 1120 01:04:38,441 --> 01:04:42,879 I think there was also a certain fatigue from staying in the same place. 1121 01:04:42,945 --> 01:04:45,715 That's when my mom really 1122 01:04:46,148 --> 01:04:49,385 ended her struggle with alcohol... 1123 01:04:49,452 --> 01:04:53,823 The best songs I've ever made were on drugs, 1124 01:04:54,123 --> 01:04:55,758 and the worst ones too. 1125 01:04:55,825 --> 01:04:58,327 The downers, those things she ingested, 1126 01:04:58,394 --> 01:05:01,130 once and for all, when my daughter was born. 1127 01:05:01,697 --> 01:05:05,501 I haven't taken anything, I'm sober. 1128 01:05:07,003 --> 01:05:11,007 It's been ten years since I... 1129 01:05:12,308 --> 01:05:16,445 Have had total control over prohibited drugs. 1130 01:05:16,512 --> 01:05:18,381 Because if I didn't have control, 1131 01:05:18,948 --> 01:05:20,449 I'd end up back in the hospice. 1132 01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:27,857 For me, Reza is the ultimate album. 1133 01:05:28,658 --> 01:05:34,063 I had the feeling when recording Reza that it would be the last album, 1134 01:05:34,597 --> 01:05:36,232 and it ended up being that. 1135 01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:47,043 And Rita said the song was too country, 1136 01:05:47,643 --> 01:05:51,213 so I went for doo-wop, which is... 1137 01:05:59,155 --> 01:06:00,957 May God protect me 1138 01:06:01,891 --> 01:06:03,225 From your envy 1139 01:06:03,826 --> 01:06:05,361 May God defend me 1140 01:06:05,861 --> 01:06:07,563 From your voodoo 1141 01:06:07,897 --> 01:06:10,800 They recorded in their home studio, with the Moog, 1142 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,668 they set their own schedule, 1143 01:06:12,735 --> 01:06:17,106 so there was no corporate pressure to deliver a record. 1144 01:06:17,173 --> 01:06:21,410 A new phase was beginning, which is reaching 60 years. 1145 01:06:21,477 --> 01:06:24,547 Roberto called me and asked me to mix the album for them. 1146 01:06:24,613 --> 01:06:28,884 I had no input into the production, nothing, 1147 01:06:28,951 --> 01:06:30,853 it was already done, Roberto did everything. 1148 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,956 Until after that came Multishow. 1149 01:06:41,130 --> 01:06:43,165 You can see that she gave her all, 1150 01:06:43,232 --> 01:06:46,002 she left her life on stage. 1151 01:06:46,469 --> 01:06:49,005 A fine day I decided to change 1152 01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:52,975 And do all I wanted to do 1153 01:06:53,042 --> 01:06:54,377 Rita is going a mile a minute. 1154 01:06:54,443 --> 01:06:58,914 Up and down, plays, stands up, sings, makes jokes and all. 1155 01:06:58,981 --> 01:07:02,785 She's not a static artist who sits on a stool and plays. 1156 01:07:02,852 --> 01:07:05,121 No, Rita Lee was never that. 1157 01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:09,692 I know I was born to find out 1158 01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:14,997 Also around that time I'd been hearing this "I want to quit" talk. 1159 01:07:15,364 --> 01:07:16,399 For
