1. Didi Mocó is an artist that became famous this year with a webhit song named "no céu tem pão" (portuguese for "there's bread in heaven"). The song tells the story of a little child, in the arms of his mother, almost starving to death, asked to the mother: "mommy, is there bread in heaven?" and died.
