Today I spent the entire day trying to make my Instagram filters work.

I have a not-so-cute guitar photo, that when I add the watercolor filter, looks like a fairy tale, then I choose a song to match and voilà. But not today – my Samsung J2 Prime (apparently) is “obsolete” and can’t handle what the app needs to run. 

The song that would be perfect for today’s mood was “Tudo Certo”, from the Brazilian singer Luiza Possi (she’s so cute and talented and I just found out that she released a new album!!). In 2013, I worked in a store where the owner loved to hear songs from a national radio, and they used to play Luiza a lot – that’s how I met her.

Luiza has the most sweet voice! If a flower had a sound, that would be it. And her mother, Zizi Possi, is another national music treasure worth of your time (my father has an autograph of her, but I am not sure how he got it… but I remember that one time he proudly showed it to a person).

Can you imagine this?

Having such a talented artist, born in the same country as you… I’m so proud of her!
