O PORTUGUÊS QUE ENSINOU A OUVIR

"The Procession," immortalized in the voice of João Villaret in the 1950s, is today one of his most remembered moments. In João Villaret's career, another procession unfolds: that of the poetry of authors he brought closer to the public. On television, he brought Pessoa and Régio into living rooms, transformed Sunday nights into poetic liturgy, and poetry into a popular phenomenon. Without simplifying. Because teaching how to listen isn't about speaking slowly. It's about speaking truthfully.
