Santa Teresa, neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro
So this is the view from the balcony of our apartment in Rio. Pretty cool, especially since it comes with a brass band that rehearses every Tuesday. Yep, that's no soundtrack, that's them playing on the other side of the hill. Que legal!
One thing that strikes me about this scene is that even though the video might not show it, these guys are really blowing, really making some noise. There's no such thing as a quiet brass band! Now, I know many places in the US where this kind of ''noise'' is not allowed at any hour, much less 8pm which is when this was filmed. You don't know how many noise complaints I've gotten for rehearsing with a band in the middle of the day. In this shot, most of the buildings you see are apartments. I bet there are 3000 plus people listening to this same music and probably enjoying it. Things are a bit more laid back here at times.
