‘Levanta e Anda’ is Emicida’s latest track to win a video. The song is part of the acclaimed album O Glorioso Retorno de Quem Não Esteve Aqui, released in 2013, and features Rael. Amidst the chaos and difficulties of life, the clip shows that it is still possible to find fun and also a way to get around problems. And that’s what the lyrics talk about, overcoming adversity through the persistence in believing in one’s own dream. the video tells stories of poor children with a fertile imagination, and who are protected by that imagination from all the misery that surrounds them.
The inspiration for the video, which was directed by Leandro HBL (creative director at Mosquito Project, part of Bando Studio), is Emicida himself who defines: “The video is inspired by stories of poor children with a fertile imagination, being protected by this imagination from all the misery that surrounds them. It alludes to many things from my childhood and from Fioti there, because the script started from our stories. It was filmed in Cidade Tiradentes with children and residents of the community itself, in front and behind the cameras”.
