Rio Negro border history recounted by Moisaniel Barbosa Filho

Moisaniel Barbosa Filho recounts a professional memory from 1984 involving a journey along the Rio Negro. While working for Rádio Nacional de São Gabriel da Cachoeira and serving as a communications advisor for the local government, Barbosa Filho accompanied then-mayor Antônio Evangelista on a boat trip to San Carlos de Río Negro in Venezuela.

The trip was intended to honor the mayor for his administration of the border municipality. The journey traversed the international Amazon region, passing through the Cucuí area near the border, highlighting the close human connections between Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia in the Rio Negro basin.
