Getúlio Pereira da Silva: A street vendor's life in Brazil

Getúlio Pereira da Silva, a street vendor known by his customers as ‘Raimundo’ for marketing purposes, sells cocadas—a traditional coconut and rapadura sweet—on trains in Brazil. His products are sourced from the Vale do Jequitinhonha.

Working late into the night at stations such as Guilhermina-Esperança, Getúlio uses his rhythmic announcements to attract passengers. He shares that his work supports his wife, Aurora, and their three children: Anderson, Henrique, and Marcela.
