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. Always betting in a mix of rhythms, the band has gained increasingly differentiated publics and accumulating hits such as: Bota pra Ferver, Take it Easy, Qual É?, A Gente Pede Festa, Com Amor, Não Tem Lua, Oba Vou Passear, Cocobambu, Dia dos Namorados, Pra Lá de Bragadá, Xô Satanás, A Dança da Tartaruga, Manivela, Dança do Vampiro, Pit Bull, O Rei da Rua, Reino da Folia, Casamento Não, Salvador Dalino, Abalou, O Mago, Amor de Fé, Gênio da Lata, O Lobo, Gladiador, O Que Tem Que Ser Será, Simbora, Dia do Asa and Quebra Aê, which rendered six trophies as the best music in Carnival 2007 and was the most performed song in Carnival 2008 of Bahia.
