"Comrade @LulaOficial’s historic victory in Brazil shows that the people cannot be fooled by bankrupt political dynasties & ghosts of the past who believe might is greater than right"- Prez @anuradisanayake in one of the most politically charged posts yet from his official handle

Today, the people of Brazil did not just win an election; they defeated the forces of corruption, division and political lies.

Comrade @LulaOficial’s historic victory in Brazil shows that the people cannot be fooled by bankrupt political dynasties and the ghosts of the past who believe might is greater than right.

Many congratulations, companheiro, for leading the march of progress yet again!

If there were an aural equivalent of elegant, highly readable prose, it would be Deva’s music. At once accessible and appealing, his music has the ability not merely to please listeners, but to draw them closer to sound and the emotions it conveys.
