Hal from Ooberfuse said : "many people are thinking twice about visiting Rio in light of the recent protests that have claimed six lives following recent social agitation in cities across Brazil. We are in sympathy with the bus drivers and other ordinary people of Brazil and will definitely be going ahead with our plans to take up the invitation. The song, Hope of the Dawn offers a message of hope for the future."
