Responsible for the victory show, Margareth Menezes says Walter Salles is a fan of his music

Shortly before the ecstasy took over the Largo do Pelourinho, in Salvador, early in the early hours of Monday (3), with the victory in the Oscar “I’m still here” in the best international film category, the singer and minister of culture, Margareth Menezes, told the F5 About the conversation he had with Walter Salles and Fernanda Torres between the awards of the Golden Globe and the Oscar.

“I left a message to Walter Salles, but he gave an answer and even said he likes my work, who is a fan of the song ‘Marmelada’. I was even thrilled,” said Margareth.

“Fernanda also returned, did even that joke and sang a little piece of ‘pharaoh’,” added the singer.

The Minister of Culture, who is on vacation during the carnival period, took a breach on the schedule to do a show at Pelourinho, on the night of the presentation of the Oscar, with a screen for the fans to watch the award between Teresa Cristina’s show and hers.

“It is an achievement of the people. I also, at this moment, not only as a minister, but as a citizen and as an artist, I am happy with this possibility [de vitória]”Margareth said a few minutes before the award.

“This movie is already great for everything it has already achieved, and will open more doors, will bring a greater observation to Brazilian cinema,” he continued.

“Now, it is up to all of us, who produces, who invests, who sponsors, care to take advantage of this space that ‘I’m still here’ and other Brazilian movies, which are already successful too, are opening right now,” said Margareth Menezes.
