I would like to introduce to my friends a example of Brasilia singer.
His name is Cazuza.
Cazuza (4 April 1958-7 July 1990) was a bisexual Brazilian composer and singer. I this time was really difficult to be an open homosexual. Cazuza was climed by Caetano Velozo, other great Brazilian sing, the greatest Brazilian poet of his generation. However in this same time he discovered that he was infected with the AIDS. In this he decided start his Solo career and open the mind of millions of people about the homosexually and prevention of HIV through his autistics expressions, both musical and lyrically.

In 1989, he admitted publicly for the first time that had AIDS and released his last album: Burguesia. Cazuza was openly bisexual but was not active in the gay movement. However his opennes about being a person with AIDS helped to change public perceptions and attitudes about HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
If you have the opportunity to watch the movie " Cazuza-O Tempo Nao Para" ( Cazuza - The time doesn"t stop.
Cazuza - o tempo não para / Cazuza - Time Doesn't Stop`
