Mandibula is a mix of a bar
a coffee shop and a vinil record store. It's a meeting space for people who have
interests in common with us, basically.
People who like good music, people who want 10 minutes
to relax and sit on the couch, listening to cool music, having a nice coffee
without hurry.
unsaying everything that is established as normal.
Our proposal isn't to start a revolution. Or create an economic revolution, cultural revolution,
but I think little by little
small things, small initiatives build involvement.
I think this one here.
The biggest problem with what happens today is that
small businesses are disappearing. And in some cities
of Brazil,
street stores just disappeared, due to several factors, fear, insecurity...
I think it's time for all of us to get back our
small economy.
Today was a day to shop at São João,
in downtown São Paulo.
at São João Ave, Amaral Gurgel St...
basically looking for old stuff that may be useful to us.
I love this.
Big chest.
This place is magical.
Look at this chair!
We came to see
couch and chair, and end up seeing everything.
Culturally I also think it has
a very important role.
The independent culture was... the most unique things
in the world
started in a war situation, or were created
simply by
people who wanted to do something different
from everyone
Honestly...
Our economic role is...
small considering the big scenario.
We have no pretension to be big, but...
I guess we'll have...
I hope to have a role...
I think having fun is important.
Anyway, I...
I intend to offer fun
and not think about what I represent economically.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
My mother gave my first...
My first Sony Walkman and a cassette tape of Queen.
"Greatest Hits"
Your mother? That's cool!
And... It's was my first...
My first musical memory of something
something that I had... it's was this...
was this tape. I would like to have until today, but
is gone. My mother went to Queen's concert at some point. My mother was a hippie.
Queen isn't a hippie band, but...
but she has this history
and it was... it's a band that she likes, I believe, even today
and then she gave to me... shared this
history with me.
It's quite common for a teenage to find heroes figures in the bands
that he listened to. So I wanted to be Kurt Cobain, Louis Armstrong. I was like, "***...
these guys are cool"
I can't look up to something that is not really
perfect, I think. What the *** I'm saying?
There's a song of Elza Soares that says something like...
"I don't want to be better than... no one, I don't want to be more..."
I don't know the lyrics exactly.
"I just want to be better than myself"
That's it, really. I never wanted to be anybody.
I want to be someone else every day.
That's great.
I can say that...
I think my biggest fear is...
is the fear of failure.
It's the fear... and it's not the fear of
financial failure.
That also exist, of course.
It's the failure of, like, someone saying, "What the *** did you do here...
honestly.
Look around. You're not seeing that ***? Look that *** coffee.
This beer is warm."
Warm beer never!
"This record... How did you sold me this broken record? You switched my record.
This record...
Look that *** singer. How can you sell this to me? You have no shame?
On the other hand this is something that torments me, but some how
I have faith that we will make it right.
It's a paradox feeling.
But like all fears is irrational.
But I think change is healthy. It's the time for you to rethink what
you're doing, what is your role in here
what do you want for your life... These existential questions,
are *** scary. You wake up...
with a trembling belly.
But, dude...
At the end of the day you feel that you are doing something useful, right?
If all
goes well, we will
drink coffee, drink beer and listen to music.
If everything goes wrong, we will have leftover coffee, drink leftover beer
and listen records that we didn't sell. So...
it's alright in the end.
I'm André.
I'm Bruno.
And this is our Ramo (field).
I'm André and this is our Ramo (field).
Wait for him to speak his name!
***, man. You are too nervous.
I'm André.
I'm Bruno.
And this is our Ramo (field).
More?
No, it's good. We can do more later.
Yeah, let's not stress the cast.
