sings to a crowd of thousands at Expo Londrina
an agricultural fair in the southern Brazilian city of Londrina
As evening settles in among the cattle farms and soybean fields of southern Brazil
They are gathering amid a giant agricultural fair that's been busy with visitors all day
many of whom have come to buy or sell livestock
to inspect the latest farming technology or to dine at cafes where every main course once had hooves or trotters
Children visit the food stall section of Expo Londrina
an agricultural fair in the southern Brazilian city
But the crowd gathering here is not focused on monster tractors
champion rodeo studs or best-of-breed competitions for pedigree sheep
tassels and leather boots — to see a singer who
has become a superstar in Brazil for pioneering a barrier-challenging variant of the nation's traditional sertanejo (roughly
Marília Mendonça is about to take the stage in the show ground's 15,000-capacity arena to perform songs that have earned her 4.7 billion views on YouTube and a reputation for championing the autonomy of women — particularly young, single women — in this conservative, macho-minded Latin American society
Among the crowd eagerly awaiting this performance is Camila da Silva
because Mendonça "sings with her heart" and writes lyrics that are honest and that give women a sense of self-worth
Brazilians have given a name to this twist on the sertanejo genre: They call it "feminejo."
On this night, Mendonça is performing at the annual Expo Londrina fair in Londrina
a city of about 550,000 people in the southern state of Paraná
The area is part of a vast expanse of plains and grasslands where Brazilian sertanejo was incubated in the early 20th century
Longtime sertanejo musician Antônio Xavier de Andrade plays each year at Expo Londrina
herdsmen crossing rivers full of piranhas ..
brave cowboys," says musician Antônio Xavier de Andrade
who says he has been performing sertanejo in and around the region for decades
the genre has spawned various offshoots and evolved to incorporate elements of pop and rock
along with a widened instrumental palette that includes electric guitars
Mendonça's stories are a far cry from tales of swashbuckling cowboys
She simply set out to tell stories "about my life
or the lives of other women around me," she tells NPR before going on stage
Stories of cheating," stories about women "who can't tolerate the lazy bum anymore," and so kick him out
No one has been more taken aback by her rapid success — she's only been releasing music for a handful of years — than Mendonça herself
"I never imagined that we would win over my city
to have Brazil hear me and believe in me — for me
"It's kind of normal to hear men talking some bad things about girls and women," says Layssa Soares
and people need to know it's not normal." The rise of Mendonça and other feminejo artists is welcomed as a breakthrough by Soares
women are taking a place in sertanejo music
So the subjects and the songs are different right now
Mendonça's "girl power" is driven by some bedrock themes — the importance of women being themselves and of standing up for themselves
She portrays herself as someone who tells down-home truths and someone who is "not hidden behind makeup or a mask that says 'I am a princess.' "
Fans of all ages — especially women — sing along at Marília Mendonça's Expo Londrina concert
that she did not deliberately set out to make music with a social message
women start to take positions," Mendonça says
like sending an unfaithful partner away or abandoning a home that is without respect."
In the music, you can't miss it. In "Folgado," Mendonça sings about running out of patience with a domineering, uncommitted man. "Don't come over here, I'm living the way I want," she sings. "I didn't ask for your opinion. You got here and tried to boss me around." One of her biggest hits, "Alô Porteiro," is about calling a doorman to tell him a man is not allowed in her apartment building any more
Mendonça characterizes her approach as a "feminism of attitude," rather than the traditional sort
"I never went to protest in the street," she says
For us to achieve with our own hands what we want and not just say it
As Mendonça finally takes the stage and launches into song
a huge cheer goes up around the arena from some 15,000 people
happy and doesn't want to get hitched in 2018?" yells Mendonça during a break between numbers
"I'm not obliged to satisfy you," she sings
"I take care of my own life." The crowd joyously sings along

Indian IT services giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is setting up to expand in Brazil like never before
as construction begins on a large delivery center with seating for more than 4,000 workers in the state of Paraná
The new office, under construction in the Francisco Sciarra Technology Park on the outskirts of the city of Londrina, will be TCS’s largest delivery center in the Portuguese-speaking world, according to local publication Gazeta Do Povo
TCS, which first established its operations in Brazil in 2002, will reportedly provide both BPO and IT services from the new facility
yet is far less expensive than large metropolises like Sao Paulo
Reports from the local media suggest TCS is currently operating out of a temporary office in the city
TCS’s Brazilian operations suffered losses in the initial few years
but things started to look up as it began winning contracts to serve some of the country’s top businesses
and several major banks among its customers in Brazil
With more than US$17.58 billion in annual revenue
TCS is the biggest IT services firm in India
the famous Portuguese egg cream tarts from Belem
At Val-de-Marne, in the town of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (accessible by public transport), a very special tavern awaits gourmet lovers of Portuguese cuisine. Taberna Londrina is the standard-bearer for the city of Porto
focusing on a very speciality: Francesinha
Nicknamed the "Portuguese croque-monsieur", this dish is said to have originated during the French invasions of Portugal under Napoleon 1st. It is said to have been inspired by the French croque-monsieur principle
with the twist that the sandwich is covered and surrounded by sauce
A comforting specialty that would be well worth a forkful
the name of this restaurant will sound familiar
and with good reason: Taberna Londrina is already present in several Portuguese cities
The restaurant is already attracting a large Portuguese diaspora
the reflex is more to greet you in Portuguese
and less to explain the restaurant's menu and specialties
when you ask what's the must-try dish on the menu
it's without the slightest hesitation that we recommend the Francesinhas " A Moda do Porto"
consisting of veal steak and fresh sausage
with a fried egg on top and generously covered with a port sauce in which to dip French fries (not homemade
Beer lovers beware: it goes perfectly with Taberna Londrina's own beer
If you'd like to nibble before enjoying this dish,the restaurant offers other specialized starters
Taberna Londrina offers other simpler dishes such as grilled salmon with two garnishes
it's hard to miss the homemade pastel de Nata
if you'd like to round off your meal with a more substantial sweet
we suggest you indulge in another specialty
airy caramel custard that almost reminds us of the consistency of whipped egg whites
