ON THE AIR (A) IN BRAZIL
|
|
|
|
Curitiba is the capital of the state of Parana,
|
|
in the south of Brazil, located at about 350
|
|
kms. to the South East of Sao Paulo with a
|
|
population of about one and a half million
|
|
and is thus the tenth largest city in
|
|
population terms in the country. There they
|
|
are living through a pioneering experience
|
|
for the Brazilian and Latin American
|
|
libertarian movement: the setting up of an
|
|
anarchist radio transmitor. It's called 'FM
|
|
107,9 Burro Brabo, Radio Libre Pirataria'
|
|
which came on air in the first half of 1995.
|
|
|
|
The launching and running of this iniciative
|
|
was taken care of by groups who have been
|
|
active in the area for some time:
|
|
GR.A.VID.A (Direct Action Anarchist
|
|
Group and editors of the information sheet
|
|
DIRECT ACTION) and the collective of the
|
|
paper JORNAL DO BACACHERI. With an
|
|
effort which can only be described as
|
|
extraordinary, given the difficulties which
|
|
will always attend such a project in Latin
|
|
America, they managed to concretise the
|
|
idea and began to transmit music, protest,
|
|
humour, poetry and anarchism to the
|
|
listeners in some areas of the city.
|
|
|
|
In correspondence we received in June these
|
|
enthusiastic friends tell us that shortly they
|
|
will be able to cover the whole of Curitiba
|
|
along with it's outskirts thanks to a new
|
|
aerial they have bought, this was an on-
|
|
going situation. They also sent us a call so
|
|
that sympathetic people from all over the
|
|
world send them support: publications, taped
|
|
music, poetry, info, suggestions and of
|
|
course any other form of help (if possible
|
|
economic). Since everything which arrives is
|
|
welcome and indespensable so that these
|
|
radical Don Quijotes can continue with their
|
|
marvellous project on their 'Burro Brabo'
