Levanta Poeira is a popular expression in Brazil which means "lift the dust". This is a phenomenon you will find everywhere in the country - where this is a living cultural manifestation, where the people come together to play, to dance, to party. Where the earth is pounded by the feet of the common people - simple, talented, festive - a great cloud of dust rises into the sky. It is the sign that the warmth of the brazilian spirit is present!
It also means, as an expression: "Don't give up! We can change things!"
