Nthe anthology of texts and essays “The World Is Not Boring”, Caetano Veloso, seeking to describe himself fairly and without false modesty, declared that he was not “a national myth, to the extent that Pelé is, to the extent that Roberto Carlos is.” Because a person only becomes aware of their real size when they compare themselves to a giant. And Roberto Carlos is, in fact, a giant, an artist who exists in a class that is his own, who inspires a strong devotion on the part of an audience that, in Brazil, Latin America and beyond, sells out his concerts, buys all his records and watches all his regular TV specials. Deeds worthy of a ‘King’.
