Songs of resistance and hope … Harvey Brough and Monica Vasconcelos

Te Te Te-te-e-te … Monica calls to the choir

And the choir responds … Te Te Te-te-e-te

Ilê Ayê … A star is born, and his name is James Tuitt-Adeji

Make way for the party … food and friendship in the interval

Sweet and low … Vox chamber choir serenades the audience

Aos Nosso Filhos … remembering Brazil’s lost children

It’s all going fine, everything’s great … Monica and the band

Who is that woman there, always singing that refrain…

The masters of ceremonies and seas take their bow
