In this episode, we look into the history of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, also known as Lampião! Lampião is a very important folkloric hero of the Brazilian sertão, who is often seen as a Robin-Hood like figure. The full history of Lampião is significantly more complex, and sheds light on the culture of this region in the early 1900's. Tune in to hear the story of a veritable comic-book hero who revolutionized the way that bandits in the Brazilian backlands operated and even dressed! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!Please email me any questions/comments: [email protected] Footage of Lampião: https://youtu.be/eBBQReNSw00  Some Images: https://streetsmartbrazil.com/lampiao-maria-bonita-meet-cangaceiros-brazilian-sertao/ More images: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampi%C3%A3o Pictures of clothing/business cards, and lots of sourses: http://www.habanaelegante.com/November_2015/Invitation_vonHartenthal.html
