Reencounter?

Since the confirmation that RBD would return to Brazil as a complete group, many fans began to ask for a reunion between the members and Lula, who is serving his third term as president. However, the expected moment may not happen.

This is because the group has performances scheduled in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo until the 19th, with no plans to make a quick visit to Brasília, where the president is located. Furthermore, Lula cannot travel by plane until November 26th due to medical advice after undergoing hip surgery in October.

So far, there is no information whether the band and presidency teams are trying to organize space in the agenda for the reunion to take place.
