RIO DE JANEIRO, RJ (FOLHAPRESS) - Tribalistas don't always need to be together to make music. Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes and Carlinhos Brown have already composed via email and telephone, although the coexistence between the three is considered fundamental to the result of the songs. The group's dynamics will be one of the topics of Conversa com Bial, on Globo, this Tuesday (11), in an edition recorded at Teatro Sesc, in Copacabana, in the south zone of Rio.

The trio participates in the program alongside Dora Jobim, director of "Tribalistas - O Baú da Hora Fértil". The film recovers little-known images of the musicians and shows stages of the creation process, from the first recordings of a composition to recordings, rehearsals and presentations.

"We sometimes compose by email, by phone, but, in our case, presence, being together, works a lot. The songs come out with amazing ease", says Arnaldo.

For Marisa, the interest of the documentary lies precisely in showing a stage that is normally kept away from the public: the birth of a song. "The documentary allows us to see a rare thing: the genesis of a song. It's a place that almost no one sees. It's a place that is rarely recorded", he says.

The material gathered by Dora Jobim began to be produced for another purpose. The initial idea was to accompany the recording of an album, but the record ended up incorporating images taken at different moments in the trio's trajectory. Studios, photo shoots, trips, tours and meetings became part of the archive. The title 'O Baú da Hora Fértil' refers precisely to this set of records.

Marisa describes the creation of Tribalistas as a process that mixes spontaneity and method. "Collective, creative, spontaneous, chaotic, affective, relaxed and fun. But, at the same time, rigorous", he summarizes. Carlinhos Brown relates work to the freedom provided by joint creation. "We are on board with a creative feeling that, naturally, imposes a smile. Poetry frees the person", he states.

In their conversation with Pedro Bial, the trio also recalls the origins of songs such as 'Velha Infância' and 'Já Sei Namorar', in addition to the meetings that shaped the partnership that began more than 20 years ago.
