Popular figure in artistic events, Vini marked his trajectory for the spontaneity and enthusiasm with which he defended the local culture. It gained prominence in parades, presentations and especially in the triple X dance group, where their irreverence and contagious energy conquered public and colleagues.
The news of his departure quickly spread through Cruzeiro do Sul and neighboring municipalities, causing great repercussion between artists, friends and admirers. For many, Vini was not just a dancer or participant in cultural groups, but a symbol of resistance and appreciation of popular manifestations in Juruá.
Venilson’s body will be transferred to Cruzeiro do Sul on Friday night, scheduled to arrive at 9 pm. The funeral will take place at his mother’s house, in the Cruzeirinho neighborhood, where family members and the community may say goodbye.
Between tears and memories, the certainty is that Vini leaves a legacy of joy and love for art that will remain alive in the memory of all who followed his walk.
