“Anderson always wanted to do ‘Paparico do Molejo’, he always encouraged us. Everything he had ideas for was based on the principle that it would be good. This is Molejo’s way of winning over the public again. No one can stop, until because he didn’t want us to stop”, said Andrezinho to “RJ2”.
The announcement of the release of the album “Paparico do Molejo” was made by Andrezinho, one of the group’s members, during Anderson Leonardo’s wake.
