Rubens Barcelos

Rubens Barcelos, Bide’s sibling, was a famous sambista in Estácio. When he passed away, the sambistas from the hill sang a liturgical samba in his homage, which starts the following: “Morreu nosso mano Rubens/O Estácio de saudade chora/Ó que mundo ingrato/Que a todos devora” (“Our sibling Rubens passed away/Estácio cries, yearning for him/O ungrateful globe/That devours everyone”).
