Durval Lelys, band leader, is the face of Asa de Águia. His irreverence made him a figure quite charismatic, knowing how to rock the public like no one else. Durval is an architect, graduated from UFBA, but he left the drawing board to devote himself to the art career. He is singer, guitarist and composes most of the hits of the group.
Leví Pereira is a very experienced bassist and vocalist, a musician of great personality, and is also a composer. He began his career at age 16, bringing all the knowledge of years of work with Armandinho and the whole family of unforgettable Osmar Macedo.
Leading the heartbeat rhythm of drums of Asa de Águia is Rady Santos. A known musician in Bahia and with a beat full of energy, he commands with strong hands the band marking. He began his career playing in dancing balls at the age 16 in Barrocas (BA), his home town. Besides drums, Rady is also a songwriter and sings in performances of Asa.
A Uruguayan player of keyboard, Ricardo Ferraro came to Brazil in January 1987 to visit the beaches of Bahia. He fell in love with the place and decided to stay in the land, where he met Durval Lelys who invited him to join the group. Currently, the musician is on solo career as DJ Rambo.
Ubajara Carvalho is the drummer of the band. He also came from the school of Dodô and Osmar, and he was invited by Durval and Levi to join Asa de Águia. Bajara is also a composer and has some successful partnerships with Luiz Caldas, Durval Lelys, Carlinhos Brown and David Sersan.
In the Carnival of Salvador, Asa leads the blocks CocoBambu and Me Abraça. In micaretas through the country, the band leads the block Cerveja & Coco, a partnership between Asa de Águia and Ivete Sangalo, since 2005.
In addition to the blocks, differentiated projects of shows such as Trivela, Mica Hall, Carna Hall, FeijoAsa, Cocobambu Folia, Asa Beach, ArraiAsa, Asa Country, Asa Beats and ASA 3D were also developed, adding more innovation to its performances.

Ôba Vou Passear
Asa De Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Asa de Águia
Composição: Durval Lélys
Só tem trabalho
E dinheiro não vem
O rebolado
É na fila do trem
Mas mesmo assim eu vou
Eu vou...
Eu fico acordado
Querendo te ver
Meu pensamento
É casar com você
Mas o salário
Só dá prá viver do céu
De anjinho!
Se a liberdade é tão bonita
Quero passear no weekend
Tiro essa roupa prisioneira
E vou prá vida, vadiar
Ôba! vou passear...
Ôba vou passear - seguirei
Ôba vou passear - cantarei
Ôba vou passear - andar por aí
Ôba vou passear - viajei
Ôba vou passear - e daí
Ôba vou passear - andar por aí...
In "Oba Vou Passear," Asa de Águia sings about the daily struggles of working and trying to make ends meet while longing for the freedom to travel and explore. The opening lines describe the frustration of having to work hard but not seeing the financial rewards. The mention of "rebolar," meaning to dance the samba, is a reference to the joy and release that dance can bring, even when it's in the midst of the daily grind of commuting on the train.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's personal life, with him daydreaming about marrying the person he loves, but feeling constrained by his low salary. The contrast between wanting to settle down and start a life together while also wanting the freedom to roam sets up the central conflict of the song.
In the chorus, the singer declares his desire to break free from it all and go on a weekend trip, shedding his "prisoner clothes" and indulging in some much-needed leisure time. The repetition of "Ôba vou passear" reinforces the joy and excitement of the prospect of travel, while the shift to the future tense in the final refrain suggests that the singer is determined to make it happen.
