2011 Street View Image of Teen Marília Mendonça at Mother's Bar Resurfaces

Overview

• A Google Street View frame dated August 2011 shows the then 16-year-old at Cantinho da Viola in Goiânia, wearing a school uniform beside her brother at the bar her mother later sold and that no longer exists.
• The rediscovered image spread widely across social networks and Brazilian media after Ruth Moreira identified the scene as her family’s establishment.
• Ruth recalled sharing a single lunch at the bar during periods of financial strain and said the venue filled when Marília performed there.
• She said she at times feels guilty for having supported the career that kept her daughter traveling, noting Marília died doing the work she loved.
• Ruth disclosed donating more than 100 pairs of Marília’s shoes and many clothes to 2024 flood victims in Rio Grande do Sul without revealing the source, as the family and industry partners continue to manage a catalog exceeding 200 unreleased songs with new posthumous releases.
