‘I’m holding his political wake’: the trumpeter waiting to mark Bolsonaro’s judgment day

Brazil's ex-president is expected to be convicted over failed coup - and Fabiano Leitao, who has provoked him for years, is ready

When Jair Bolsonaro was Brazil's far-right president, the guerrilla trumpeter Fabiano Leitao would stalk him around the capital, Brasilia, to taunt him with renditions of the anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.

In March, when Bolsonaro was charged with plotting a coup, Leitao changed his tune and began provoking the ex-president by serenading him with Chopin's Funeral March. It symbolises his political demise, which is what we want to see," said the 46-year-old musician.
