In this Sunday's (6) episode of "Em família com Eliana," host Eliana was invited to revisit the beginning of her artistic career, when she was part of Banana Split, a children's musical group from the 1990s. The special guest was actress Leticia Colin, who came to the program accompanied by her aunt, Adriana Colin, also a former member of the group.

The reunion between Eliana and Adriana Colin happened decades after their last performances together, bringing up emotional stories and memories of growing up on Brazilian television during the 1990s. The emotion was great as they relived moments from that time.

Following a challenge proposed by Leticia Colin, Eliana and Adriana recreated one of the group's choreographies, 35 years after Eliana's last Banana Split performance. The host was also surprised by testimonials from other former group members who sent messages.

Leticia Colin also took the opportunity on the program to comment on the challenges and the impact of her first leading role in a TV Globo prime time novel, "Quem ama cuida," where she plays the character Adriana, addressing the social movements that the character brings to the storyline.

Before being Calvin Harris: Rock in Rio DJ released songs at 18 years old under a different name

Calvin Harris, the headliner at Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo, didn't always use that name. At 18 years old, in 2002, the Scottish DJ released "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days" under the stage name Stouffer, in physical formats such as 12-inch single and CD-EP. This phase lasted a short time, and in 2004 he was already credited as Calvin Harris on the song "Let me know," featuring Ayah Marar, on the compilation Electric Soul, Vol. 2, by duo The Unabombers. The name Calvin Harris only gained prominence a few years later.

Farming aura

The concept "farming aura" is a Gen Z trend that went viral on TikTok and Instagram, combining the "farming" mechanic from video games with personal magnetism. Instead of feeling embarrassed when going through an awkward moment, young people now say they "lost 500 aura points," as if it were a game. The trend represents a way for Gen Z to deal with embarrassing situations in a lighter manner, transforming embarrassment into something trivial and even humorous, in contrast to the anxious rumination that would be more common in previous generations.
