When we created the Caipirinha Libre show the whole point was that it would be different and independent from the Caipirinha Appreciation Society. But a couple of weeks ago we just couldn't help sharing a theme in the sibling shows: the imminent danger of Latin America becoming one big communist bloc.

The ins and outs of U.R.S.A.L. (as the new country is to be called) you will understand once you listen to either episode. It was supposed to be the central theme for the the Caipirinha Appreciation Society, but since the CAS is presented live one day before Caipirinha Libre, we were left with a whole lot of excellent songs (many of which suggested by our listeners while we were on air) which we weren't able to fit into the two-hour broadcast. So there you have it: we just had to repeat the same theme to our portuñol listeners the following day.

On the 30th of June 2018 Contrabanda FM promoted in Barcelona-Spain a big celebration at Plaza San Miguel as part of Festival Llimonades. Our own MdC Suingue curated the acts and managed the main stage.

The party was to raise funds to buy a new transmitter to the radio and our Caipirinha stall was a great success with the help of our volunteers: Marcelo Somos, Gustavo Caly, Irene Figueras and Valeria de Caprio.

Here's a collection of best moments from several sources we hashed together. Enjoy!

No, we are not Lula voters.
We are not PT voters.
But we are ‘legalists’ or ‘constitutionalists’.
We believe individual rights guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution should be respected and enforced by unbiased judges.

We believe every Brazilian citizen should receive a fair trial, from Lula to Rafael Braga
We believe the law can not be adapted to suit political and economical interests.

The Brazilian Judiciary system created a whole new interpretation of the law to stop one man from running for president. Our supreme court reverted many of its previous decisions to incarcerate and prevent one Brazilian citizen from running for president.
