Last night Mr. DRL, some friends and I went to see the Black Eyed Peas here in Rio. It was exceptionally good. Rained a bit, but it almost made it better for some reason...
I've always known that the Black Eyed Peas loved Rio but will.i.am especially won over the crowd when he declared his intentions to buy a house in Rio next year and live here (in response, Mr. DRL yelled: "Buddy, you can't afford it! True in most cases, but I think will.i.am can likely swing it. )
The guy does love Brazil. He cheered for Brazil in the world cup, and says Jorge Ben Jor is his favorite artist of all time, and last night JBJ performed with the Black Eyed Peas on stage, which was fantastic.
Some recent Brazil related will.i.am tweets:
- I'm hungry I want fejuada... :) brasil is my favorite place on the planet...
- Wow...jorge ben jor performed with us on stage in rio :) "wow" another dream came true :)
Hi! The translation to black eyed peas in Portuguese is feijao fradinho (a type of beans). Just so you know.
