Mart'nália is from Rio de Janeiro and is the samba in person. She's spontaneous like few people could dream of being and she can make samba in the stage of Carnegie Hall, just like she would do it in her backyard. She has the hability of transforming a simple and raw song in an amazing experience for those who hear it.
It was a rainy day in São Paulo when we went to shoot Mart'nália. At the night of that day, she would have a show, so, this bad wheather and her manager, Marcia Alvarez's threat "if you take my singer to the cold, i'll kill you all", made us stay inside Mart'nália's hotel room.

SIDE A - PRETINHOSIDADE
("blackousity")

"Pretinhosidade" (Mart'nália/Mombaça), our SIDE A, is a union of the words preciousity and black, something like, blackousity. It's a declaration of love for someone who understands who you are. In Mart'nália's bed, this samba was played with everybody from her band: Alfredo "Doca" Machado, Analimar Ventapane (her sister), Jorge Ailton, Menino Ovídio, Cassiano, Macaco Branco and Junior Crispin.
SIDE B - CHEGA

"Chega" (Mart'nália/Mombaça), our SIDE B, is kind of the continuation of our SIDE A: Mart'nália goes away from her bandmates to go on solo outside her room. This song is about the end of a relashionship, when it's just embearable to be with someone. Like the song, she wants to go away to get free, so she goes from her hotel room to the top of the building and the cold light of that day arrives at the same time that the character from the song gets free. It was a beautiful moment when we took the singer out in the cold.... Her manager didn't killed us, Mart'nália did a beautiful show late that night and now we have a beautiful spontaneous video to show.
