Private Equity in Brazil as a European?

Just throwing this here in case someone from Europe or Brazil sees it:

I´m currently studying at a romanophonic European target school and in Fall I would have the chance to spend a bit of time in Sao Paulo where I have a personal connection. Right before that I´ll be doing an LMM PE internship in my home country. Since I want to stay for a bit in Brazil, is there a chance as non-lusophonic European to break into the local private equity scene? The language would be the least hurdle, I speak two Romance languages, but I don´t have an Investment Banking background apart from the internship right before it.

Thanks in advance!
