Canisso exposed his heartache about the Raimundos in a documentary before he died

The documentary "Andar na Pedra - A História do Raimundos" brought to light a strong and sincere testimony from Canisso, the band's historic bassist, who died in March 2023, aged 57, after a heart attack. In the recording, the musician spoke openly about his relationship with his bandmates and demonstrated frustration with Raimundos' internal direction. Canisso stated that he felt harmed by decisions, conflicts and exhaustion accumulated over many years of his career. One of the central points of the outburst involves Digão. Canisso commented on the impact that political statements by the singer and guitarist would have had on the band's image and professional opportunities, including festivals. Digão, in turn, appears in the documentary saying that he never used the stage to make a political speech and that his positions were personal. The bassist also spoke about the reunion of Rodolfo Abrantes and Digão, as well as reflecting on the emotional weight of continuing in a band that, according to him, already worked more on professionalism than on affection between the members. Canisso's speech gains even more impact because it was recorded shortly before his death. The documentary reveals a more human, painful and complex layer of the Raimundos' story, showing that behind the band's successes and importance for Brazilian rock there were also deep wounds.
