When I fly back to Rio, I notice how some of the houses of the favela have been painted all the same colour. I had been told the story that this was a tactic of the drug barons, to make it harder for the police to gather surveillance from the air. It is in stark contrast to the bright colours of Campo Limpo in Sao Paulo. My earlier experience of working in Complexo de Alemao, courtesy of Afro-Reggae, was of stark border crossings and police searches. The harsh reality of combat lines denoting a civil war.
