They don't show anything meaningful to create a opinion about the OC. Of course... The one who doesn't want to "spoil" the surprise it's easy....

Funk is a very rich musical style, created and consumed by a large marginalized (but not only ) portion of the Rio's population. If the opening ceremony was thought to be full of music, related to the formation of Brazilian society and the different types of immigrations who formed the country... it's impossible to leave out samba, funk, rap and other musical styles. The singers mentioned so far are very plural and representative for Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. Everyone is entitled to dislike specific music styles or singers. They may not be well liked for you or a particular group of people, but we need to look outside the bubble that we live in. Funk is ugly for itself. Technically speaking, music is made up of three elements: rhythm, melody and harmony. The less melody and harmony you have, less sophisticated the music is. Needless to say that the funk is purely repetitive beats. Funk has been imposed on children and adolescents by drug dealers. It does not belong to Rio's popular. Few funk lyrics that could be seen as interesting, Few ones. But even these few interesting ones are compromised when you realize that the Rio’s funk culture’s great stimulators are the drug lords, that prostitution of children and adolescents in the funk dances these criminals promote or support is immense. This discourse that the funk is a cultural expression of marginalized people, of people who do not have opportunities, is rudimentary and has no basis. There are many social works done in slums in which children are given the opportunity of a healthy contact with the sophisticated musical art. Put the funk in the OC is a moral irresponsibility. It will only increase the number of children and adolescents who feel themselves legitimized and applauded by following what drug dealers want them to do. It will be a slap in the face of the Brazilian nation and an unprecedented international shame. This point of view is not only mine. It is shared by the overwhelming majority of our population, especially by parents of children and adolescents who, unaware of what the implications are, surrender themselves to the will of the same criminals who curtail their freedom by isolating them inside the dirty world of the same outlaws that have the city under siege. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already lost about 10-12,000 seats behind that stage...so no way can they seat 9,500 athletes; and still hope to make a little money on the event. So that would have been 25% of the 80,000 seats if they still had the athletes sit down. A 1/4th loss of full house revenues. And what would you have on the big empty floor anyway?

Oooswald Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 "(...) the Rio 2016 communication's executive, Mario Andrada confirmed that the city will have two cauldrons during the Games. Besides Candelária, the other place that will receive the flame will be the Maracana. The idea is that one flame will be wiped out while the other one is lit. The flame at Maracana will be lit at the opening ceremony on August 5th. - We'll make some kind of magic to transfer the Olympic flame from Maracana to Candelaria. Outside that, I can't give more details - commented Mario". http://globoesporte.globo.com/olimpiadas/noticia/2016/07/eduardo-paes-e-thomas-bach-visitam-orla-conde-onde-ficara-pira-olimpica.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 That's very old. Like, some weeks ago. And I think that suggestion was turned down. Rules state the parade of nations must be done in the language of the host country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 No surprise there. It's a perfectly acceptable request since NBC has paid $1.226 BILLION for the US RIo rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
