The 53-year-old musician is concerned about the quality of the water in the Doce River a year after a dam of mine waste broke, sending metal-laden mud into the Doce. "The mayor doesn't drink the water form the Doce River, so why should I have to drink it too?" asks Caliari. (AP Photo/Leo Correa) (AP)
