How hard was it to record your first C.D?
We were needing some help on the music side of things-before we entered the studios we were sounding a bit "harsh". We only had 3 nights to record in so we felt slightly pressurized. When we first started recording nothing was sounding right- Sergio told us to stop and that we would eat something together, relax and then pray. It really worked! After that it felt as if God wasactually there in the recording studio with us.

What is the Future for DR?
Above all things we are Christians so are first goal is to evangelize- if God told us that we didn't need to evangelize anymore we would stop playing.

Are you excited about the Youth Concert in February?
God has opened big doors for us. In the world there are a lot of concerts and its great that we ( Christians) are starting to have some as well. We really enjoy getting together with other Christian bands and playing as it helps us stay firm and focused on Jesus. We all just want to lift up Jesus- it's great.

(everyone looks to the floor and laughs)
Dódó: There are lots of things that Helders done- lots.
When Helder had just converted we were all at a youth meeting in Praça da Espanha and we were all told to get into groups and write a poem. So the three of us wrote a poem and then we choose Helder to go up in front of everyone to say the poem. Except that when he went to the stage and saw all the people he got so nervous that he couldn't talk. He stood there for about ten minutes. And then when he did finally manage to say something he just said the first line and the last - so that nothing made any sense ….. he missed out the whole poem!
Helder: [laughing] I was sooo embarrassed.

Dódó: And Lazurus ( Dodo obviously knows a few things about this lot!) That time at the convention ( laz laughs)
Laz: I had just started to play the guitar.
Dódó: and he was playing at the Faith convention which was being held in Alvalade. Laz was playing with a group that he didn't know very well but they had practiced and already decided on all the key for each music. Except that when they were on the stage together playing they changed the key without telling Laz. . Lazurus played the whole song in the wrong key! And then he just stood there because he didn't know what to do !!!

Dódó: Mine would have to be during the Angolan Convention. The Pastor asked Ze Antonio if I could play during the praise and worship. I really wasn't expecting to play- but since they said yes- I had to play. But my string were out of tune so Ze Antonio pulled my lead out of the amplifier - I was sooo embarrassed.
