The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 (also referred to as Paulista War) is the name given to the uprising of part of the population of the Brazilian state of São Paulo against the federal government. The uprising started on July 9, 1932, after five protesting students were killed by government troops on May 23, 1932.

Yesterday I went to the show of the Belgian band "Vomito Negro". The name is taken from Spanish/Portuguese and translates to black vomit, which is the last stage of yellow fever.
Vomit negro gave a great show, but the Brazilian synthpop band before was very weak.
"H.A.R.R.Y And The Addicts" made a feeble performance, didn´t know the band before but it is not worth writing about them. The Brazilian EBM/Synthpop/Industrial scene has no outstanding bands. I love EMB, Industial and it was a pleasure to see "Vomito Negro" do there thing, hits like; Baby needs crack, no hope no fear made the public wild.
If you like EBM (electronic body music), industrial, elektro... then São Paulo is a good place to go out, parties and shows are organized by Projeto FerroVelho on a regular basis.

When you think about Brazilian drinks you think about Caipirinha & Cachaça. But Brazil is starting to have some good beers. It is not only the common mass-produced brands like; Skol, Brahma, Antartica,... More microbreweries are rising from the dust and beers brewed by the microbrewers have a more distinctive flavour. From now on will share my experience here and review some of these great Brazilian Beers.
One of my favourite bottled beers is Baden Baden Red Ale, which is a very potable rich and creamy English-style Barley wine with 9.2% alcohol content. Brewed in the beautiful town named Campos do Jordão in the state of São Paulo.
You can visit the brewery when you make an appointment and taste their draft beers Crystal (=pilsen) and Bock for free after a 30 minute visit.

Last weekend it was again the annual Gay Parade in São Paulo. The LGBT Pride Parade - Parada do Orgulho GLBT, in São Paulo, is the largest of its kind in the world. The theme for São Paulo's 13th LGBT Pride Parade was "No Homophobia, More Citizenship - For Isonomy". The parade took place at the avenida Paulista. This is one of the biggest events in São Paulo city. All hotels are booked and tourists from all over Brazil and the world come to see / participate in this annual event.
Because the event took place in the extended holiday weekend (11th Corpus Christi, 12th Valentine´s Day) São Paulo became over-crowded with bright colours.
