Ravel Andrade celebrated the selection:"I’m very happy that the series is already reaping some rewards even before its premiere in Brazil. It's the first time that a Brazilian series has been selected for this festival, so I think it gives an even greater pleasure to premiere at this festival, to premiere with Raul and to take Raul Seixas' story to France and the world. I believe he is a Brazilian icon, an illustrious person, a unique and unparalleled artist, the father of rock. Taking Raul abroad, showing who this guy from Bahia was, a true rock 'n' roll pioneer, a philosopher of life — makes me very happy. Having a series nominated, and on top of that, about Raul Seixas, is something that makes me twice as happy," expressed.

The Globoplay Original series "Raul Seixas: Let Me Sing" explores the cultural, political, and spiritual influences of the singer and songwriter, reflecting the artist's complexity and brilliance, his internal struggles, and his constant search for authenticity and freedom of expression. His personal relationships are explored in depth, revealing the complexity of his character and the mutual influences between his life and his work.

Meanwhile, Alex Medeiros, Head of Drama, Documentaries, and Films at Globoplay Originals consider that these kinds of achievements are triumphs of Brazilian culture in the world: "Having a Globoplay Original series selected for one of the most respected festivals in the world, right after winning an Oscar, shows the strength of our Originals, which travel and carry our  brazilianness  around the world. Raul is a powerful series that tells the story of a musical icon, with the incredible performance of Ravel Andrade. Another great project in partnership with O2 Filmes, a benchmark of artistic quality in the market for over 30 years," expressed.
