Meu Chorinho

Hello friends, it is a pleasure today to bring you a song by the great Brazilian musician and composer, Jonas Pereira Da Silva, born in Rio de Janeiro on April 11, 1934. He was a public agent in Niterói, and was part of the Jacob Do group. Bandolim. in this opportunity, I will take the audacity, to share with you more than a few words a simple question that every day I ask myself and I am heading in this wonderful world of music ...

Why be a musician?
This question that I ask myself every day leads me to infinite possibilities of answers, from the most jocular and silly to the most complex and profound perspectives, starting from the most diverse points, that is, it is a question that, or will be our Holy Grail, or it will leave us crazy swept in the dust of so many answers ...

In response to the question of why being a musician, I find thousands of possibilities and feelings that lead me to innumerable answers and each of them could take me to a different place in the direction of my personal life, before even speaking in music or in the profession! Being that way, I perceive that the only reason why I am a musician is that I am deeply moved by seeing the way in which a few people, with their existences, influence and emotion, make a difference in the lives of other people. I already asked myself what is the utility of a musician? He does not save a life in danger like a fireman, he does not save a life at risk like a surgeon, he does not plant the food that makes our bodies live and live, the musician does not build a bridge that makes possible two cities of coexistence, or have the knowledge to erect a building where more people can live, he does not take water to where he has drought, he does not end wars, he does not carry a product, a material good useful to the lives of people ...
Music is responsible for saving lives of children and adolescents in a marginal situation when that possibility is given to them, music packages novels, gives emotion to a scene (either in the cinema or in real life), music inspires to live , the music that builds relationships creating perennial foundations among humans, music simply moves with what no expert can move, in such a sweeping way: music moves with the most intimate emotions of a human being! Then why am I a musician?
To thrill people. In the same way as I get excited with other people who made or make a difference. In the case of a person who is not your family or family, who left for us through their inventiveness and mainly, courage!
