Brasilia lockdown sound recorded by Ana Carolina Correia Lima Santana.
"In Brazil I feel that it is difficult to deal with the Corona Virus. On the one hand we have very alarming information from the world media and on the other the President of the Republic with different concepts.
"Today, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, are the three capitals with the highest concentration of cases. Amazonian Indians are in danger. In the country's capital, Brasília, we have been in isolation for 30 days, thanks to the Governor, but it is clear that not everyone understood the seriousness of the situation.
"Where I live, in Brasília, a city planned by Oscar Niemeyer, it has great sound permeability and this was evident with the stoppage of traffic noise.
"Natural sounds echo in the soundscape, the sound of the wind on the dry leaves of palm trees, the sound of birds and the rain hitting the window is constant. We realize that nature mixes with architecture, and people, still going outdoors and respecting each other's space, live in harmony, in a green city."
