“Níl áit ar bith sa Bhrasaíl a bhfuil tóir chomh mór ar earraí agus ar ghiúirléidí nua-aimseartha ar nós guthán póca, ceamaraí digiteacha agus seinnteoirí mp3 ná sna favelas. “Tá aithne agam ar dhaoine nach mbíonn dóthain le n-ithe acu ach a bhfuil dhá ghuthán póca le ceamara acu," a deir Nilton. 'B'fhearr leo cuma an tsaibhris a chur orthu féin in ainneoin ocras a bheith orthu ná go bhfeicfeadh daoine go bhfuil siad bocht”
