Special Post | Rio de Janeiro 442nd Anniversary Celebration

Hello, Good Night! While Loronix scientists are working hard on tonight posts, let's celebrate Rio de Janeiro 442nd Anniversary (yes, it is today) with this video featuring really nice vintage images of this wonderful city in the 50's. The background music is Chorou Chorou, performed by Don Junior and carefully selected by this humble parrot.

Meanwhile, I'm leaving to buy batteries for taking cover pictures.

Hope uEnjoy!



Awesome Helicopter Flight in 1967 - Rio de Janeiro


Here we go again on a complimentary celebration of Rio de Janeiro 442nd Anniversary. This is an really amazing video that .is being reposted. It was released at the beginning of Loronix and I think many of our new friends did not have the chance to watch.

This is an awesome helicopter flight music video with Roberto Carlos in Rio de Janeiro, 1967. Probably, the only film where a helicopter flights inside a tunnel with no special effects or cheating. Even if you don't live in Rio de Janeiro, this is amazing by the music and landscapes. How the city has changed in 40 years.

Hope uEnjoy!

    É a minha cidade maravilhosa. Queiram ou não queiram os traficantes, as milícias e políticos de araque.
    Essa era a época em que se se cantava:
    Cidade Maravilhosa/
    Cidade que me seduz/
    De dia falta água/
    De noite falta luz.

    Parabéns, Rio.

    Wow, I have almost no experience with helicopters (never even rode in one), but this is both amazing and... insane! When he started to head toward the tunnel, I just said "He's not going IN, he'll pull up and go over the hill". When he went in, I couldn't believe it... it's not that high inside there. Not only that, but his flying around between the buildings of the city was like something I've never seen. I wonder if that was (or is) legal... and I wonder if that pilot is still living! Anyway, very exhilarating (and scary!)

    Esta linda sequencia está no filme "Roberto Carlos Em Ritmo de Aventura", que considero o melhor filme feito pelo cantor.
    Além desta famosa cena, que inclui o inédito vôo através do Túnel do Pasmado, e que mostra um Rio de Janeiro muito mais lindo, tranquilo, há cenas feitas em carros em alta velocidade e até nas torres de foguetes da Nasa, no Cabo Kennedy.

    Mostra o Palacio Monroe, que foi demolido para passar o Metrô. Que se desviou.
    Existem muitas histórias interessantes sobre essa decisão.
    Tem detalhes urbanísticos e arquitetônicos muito legais nesse passeio.
    Vou guardá-lo para mostrar aos meus netos, junto com o que já tenho desse início de século.
    Loronix é cultura!

    Amigos,

    O que eu acho fantástico nesse vídeo é ver o local do horrendo Rio Sul sem Rio Sul, apenas a Igreja que está lá até hoje.

    Abraços, zeca
