00:00Hey, I'm Luisa Sonta, welcome to my mic massage.
00:15I'm going to take you through a sound journey using some of my favorite things.
00:22Okay, guys, so I'm going to start with a snack from Brazil that calls for a drink.
00:52It's called Povilho, and it actually tastes like nothing, but it's very good at the same
01:02time.
01:03Because once you start to eat, you can't stop, like, it's impossible.
01:09And this one is the traditional one, and this one tastes like a cheese, it's good.
01:23And I always have it in grandma's houses, everywhere in the grandma's house.
01:37I'm from Brazil, from a small city called Tuparintxe, and from the south of Brazil,
01:46actually from Tira, almost from Tira, with Argentina.
01:50And, yeah, I lived there until my seventies, and I sang in a wedding band, I started in
02:03a wedding band, I started to do, like, some covers on YouTube, and, well, here I am.
02:11I think Brazil totally inspires my music all the time, like, I love Brazil because I have
02:20a lot of cultures, and a lot of, like, kind of music, and kind of rhythms, and so I can,
02:28like, do, like, mixing things, and I think that's what I do best.
02:38Brazil have this, that, like, you can mix culture from different, like, places, and,
02:45yeah, so that's Brazil inspiring me in whatever I do, and my songs, and my life, actually.
02:56My biggest music aspiration is, I'm obsessed by the Beatles, since I was a teenager, like,
03:06twelve years, and, but I love, like, all the pop divas, and a lot of Brazilian singers,
03:18like, Elisey Chin, I'm obsessed by her, like, and, oh my god, Caetano Veloso, Nara Leão,
03:29Cazuza, Acacia Ele, a lot of Brazilian singers, they are the best.
03:36Okay, guys, I think it's one of my favorite parts right now, and I'm not actually, like,
03:45so into, like, sweet things, I prefer, like, salty things, but those things are the best
03:52things that exist.
03:55I'm gonna show it to you guys.
03:59Okay.
04:05Okay, I'm gonna start with this.
04:09That is my favorite chocolate, chocolate ever, how I call?
04:14Bom bom.

04:18It's like truffle, it's not?
04:21Truffle.
04:23Truffle.
04:24Look, I don't know how to say it in English.
04:27This calls bom bom, and this one is the best bom bom that exists in the world.
04:35And that's it.
04:36It calls, like, ouro branco.
04:39We have sonho de falsa, don't we?
04:41We have sonho de falsa, too.
04:44That is, like, okay, it's the last one that, like, people never wanted, but if you don't
04:54want more, we love to eat that one, too, you know?

11:23Okay, and then...
11:31I see my egg.

12:45And then, here's the thing.
12:48When you, like, put water here and start to drink, you need to drink until the end.
12:54If you don't drink all the drink, it's, like, bad luck.
