Political views

In 1989 Betti was one of the producers of the music video for the famous jingle "Lula Lá" ("Lula There") for the presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from the Workers' Party. In this video, several famous artists of the time sing the jingle. Betti supported Lula throughout all of his presidential campaigns, including the one in 2006, when several artists withdrawn their support from the candidate because of his party's involvement in the scandal known as "mensalão".
