Allegation: Brazilian artist performs obscene songs at a school in Portugal
Recently, a video purportedly recorded at a school in Portugal has been circulating, showing a group of young people with an entertainer singing and dancing to a Brazilian song with lyrics such as: “solta a carta cara***, tigrinho filha da pu**, pra eu pegar o meu dinheiro e comer umas 4 pu***” followed by “sequência de pau”.
The video has sparked criticism of the school, which is not identified in the footage, and the alleged Brazilian singer, who has been the target of xenophobic remarks (https://archive.ph/F4TaA). One post with nearly 100,000 views on X claims, “this shameful event occurred in a Portuguese school” and argues that “this Brazilian trash should not have contact with our children”: https://archive.ph/UxOTL.
The same post promotes a petition advocating for the “prohibition of sexually explicit music at events aimed at children,” an online petition started months prior to this incident, which has garnered over 15,000 signatures (https://archive.ph/gTusK), and has already been partially submitted to the Assembly of the Republic (https://archive.ph/2O48a).
In another Instagram post (https://archive.ph/QNyB8), also shared on X (https://archive.ph/gUSgj), jurist Rita Rocha criticizes parents and schools for allowing such performances. “How long will Portuguese parents allow situations like this, where an individual performs inside a school for minors, clearly promiscuous, clearly offensive to morals and good manners, to the normalcy of Portuguese families, and the school colludes and covers it up?” she questions.
In the comments on these and other posts related to the video, several people question whether the footage is indeed from a school in Portugal and if a Brazilian musician was performing, but even the X AI assistant, Grok, could not confirm various theories (examples: https://archive.ph/ox7TK, https://archive.ph/Z5WiI and https://archive.ph/dLfMg).
Facts: the video is real, the school is Portuguese, and the music is Brazilian, but the entertainer is Portuguese
A simple search of the song’s lyrics reveals it is a snippet from the hit “Resenha do Arrocha” by Brazilian singer J. Eskine, a daring medley of several musical hits from that country, blending styles such as funk, pagodão baiano, and arrocha (https://archive.ph/Rz1EL and https://archive.ph/ZfXnJ).
As for the location in the images, reverse searches of several frames return results related to the original video published on the Instagram and TikTok accounts of a young Portuguese DJ and entertainer known by the stage name ‘Zézinho’. However, upon clicking the images, it is evident the video has been removed or classified as private (https://archive.ph/aDTip).
Nonetheless, analysis of this DJ’s social media accounts and further reverse searches also identified that the video was recorded at Escola Básica n.º 2 de Avelar, in the Ansião municipality, Leiria region, during a party hosted on September 30 by one of the candidate lists for the student association (https://archive.ph/I1BEl).
These investigations revealed that the video no longer appears on the candidate list’s networks, which have since won the school elections, but allowed for the location of a slightly longer version, apparently extracted from ‘Zézinho’s TikTok account before its removal. In a post on X dated October 5, now with nearly 200,000 views, the post’s author also criticizes the “sick” performance: https://archive.ph/96ft7.
The video also circulates on various Instagram accounts dedicated to viral ‘fotos’ and videos, though some have been removed recently (example: https://archive.ph/SfZdB).
Controversy
Lusa Verifica reached out to members of the school community, including parents, students, and teachers, but none were willing to comment on the record. However, it was possible to learn that the episode has caused considerable discomfort and surprise at the level of controversy.
The individuals contacted by Lusa Verifica emphasized that the party was organized by a candidate list for the student association and not the school itself. They also mentioned it was not different from many events by the same entertainer in schools across the country, and the students know these songs from the Internet, not the school.
Indeed, in that video and others identified by Lusa Verifica featuring similar music, it is primarily students who are singing the lyrics from memory, indicating these are popular songs well-known to them.
Nonetheless, some parents criticize what they call the “abuse” by artists of videos recorded in educational settings involving minors, lamenting the “lack of sensitivity” in choosing such a repertoire.
On ‘Zézinho’s social media pages, other videos from this and other schools remain accessible (https://archive.ph/Tj8ja, https://archive.ph/La5x0, https://archive.ph/wVMgN), and there are online clips of this and other entertainers performing with internationally and nationally popular songs, often with obscene lyrics.
The more spicy tracks include songs like ‘Cavalinho (Remix)’ by Brazilian DJ Pedro Sampaio, ‘Tomou pisada na cabeça’ by DJ B7 o Piranhão and MC Mestrão, and ‘Maldita de Ex’ by MC Leozin. However, there are also more neutral themes, such as ‘FE!N’ by American rapper Travis Scott — where students and entertainers engage in a mosh pit (a concert practice where attendees ‘crash’ into each other) — alongside innocent tunes like ‘Sou uma taça’ by Panda e os Caricas or ‘Anel de Rubi’ by Rui Veloso.
Lusa Verifica sought to contact the management of the Ansião School Group from Wednesday afternoon but was directed by Thursday morning to the regional directorate of the Directorate-General for Schools, which in turn referred any inquiries to the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation’s communication office, which has not yet responded.
Despite several attempts, the DJ ‘Zézinho’ has also not yet responded. Lusa Verifica learned that the controversial video was removed from the artist’s social media at the request of some parents of students whose images were captured and published without consent.
Lusa Verifica Evaluation: True, but…
The video circulating on social media showing minors singing a Brazilian song with sexually explicit lyrics is real and was recorded at a basic school of the second and third cycles in Ansião, Leiria district, but the entertainer is Portuguese, and the event was organized by a candidate list for the student association, not the school.
