Mansão Maromba

Mansão Maromba

Can you imagine a place that brings together the maromba, funkeiro, gamer and other people? The mansion was born out of Toguro's desire to have a home and be able to entertain friends, something he has always enjoyed. "The idea came up when my mother was still alive. She always had friends and she didn't like her very much because my friends are marombas and they eat a lot", she explains. Whoever thinks that the house only welcomes the trincadona crowd is wrong. The mansion brings together a very diverse staff, but all with the same purpose. "We compare ourselves to the 'X-Men' because everyone has a talent and the mission of the maromba mansion is to transform your talent into power because many times you don't believe in your gift and it ends up being forgotten," he says Toguro. If in the past the channel In Search of the Inexplicable Shape was more focused on fitting in, today the themes are more diversified, mainly due to the vlogs, which show the day-to-day life inside the mansion. "The channel is like my life online. All there is is me," Toguro explains of the content change. "I started more focused on the world of fitness because I only trained, but the channel and my image have created such a force that I am welcome in any field. So today we record funk, sertanejo, rolê, field shooting, etc, but weight training is still the central focus because it's what I enjoy doing the most." Along with a bunch of YouTube and other platforms, Toguro is part of a network of influencers who inspire kids to work in the digital environment. If before the dream was to be a funker or a soccer player, today children also dream of being a youtuber, streamer or professional e-sports player. "This change occurred when television began to lose relevance. Today, children are born with a cell phone in hand. I see a lot of people wanting to be a youtuber, this issue of being a player is being eliminated from the mouths of the kids, "he says. "I think that's also bad because it takes a little bit of the sport away from the kids. I no longer see them playing in the street, but there is also the side that I have of valuing my work. I preach a lot the idea of ??being a youtuber and I'm very happy when they say they want to be too. Like everything in life, working with the internet also has its drawbacks, especially with fame. "One of the main challenges is the issue of privacy, which I am losing a bit along with my security and emotional peace," says Toguro. "Apart from that, it is very good to deal with the public, meet people on the street and they say that some video I made changed their lives. I receive several testimonials from mothers who say that I saved their son's life. Every time I turn on the camera, it's not for money or fame, it's for love and everything we do for love, we spare no effort."
