Although promotional tours and concerts are exhausting for musicians, they are a fundamental element of show-business and they must be undertaken with enthusiasm and professionalism. The same goes for electoral campaigns, and for any presidential or vice-presidential candidate that follows this path, it is usually a case of the more campaign visits the better, the more selfies the better, the more exhausting the better.
But amidst this promotional tour, there can emerge a moment of quiet where one can find peace, a space of recovery, of serenity, and in which one can connect with their inner-most emotions. And this is what occurred last September the 6th for the first ever indigenous candidate for the vice-presidency in Brazil, Sônia Bone Guajajara, during a stopover in the city of Santarém, en route to São Paulo via Belén, at the mouth of the Amazon.
