When Paula Moura was a teenager in Brazil, the music of Queen filled her house: the songs reminded our hearts of joy and filled them with courage, she writes. It’s a connection she still carries with her today.
The author as a teenager, in 2002, at the headquarters of the Official Queen International Fan Club, in the UK.
There, a 19-year-old fan called Luciana from Rio Grande do Sul asked if someone would like to travel with her to the so-called “Queenvention,” ain the UK called Prestatyn Sands — a journey that would take roughly 20 hours to complete. Brazil’s economy was recovering, and the exchange rate allowed many people to travel abroad for the first time. Boldly, with the confidence of a teenager, I responded that I was interested, and Luciana and I exchanged contact information to make a plan.
Freddie Mercury’s voice rocked us, the beats made us feel free, and the songs reminded our hearts of joy and filled them with courage. In fact, my desire to learn the meaning of their songs and be able to sing them was what drove me to take my learning of English as a second language to an advanced level. I took my quest seriously: once I emailed the official fan club to ask what was or where was “Rhye,” in the song “.” They kindly replied to me that it was an imaginary place created by Freddie Mercury.
