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. 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.
Manivela
Asa De Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deus criou o homem
O homem criou Nero
E Nero criou a Dança da Manivela
Eu fui perguntar pra ela meu amor
Se a dança da manivela ela topou
Dizendo que aqui tá quente
Muito quente, aqui tá frio
Aqui tá quente, aqui tá frio
Muito quente, aqui tá frio
Pega no dedinho dela
Pega no joelho dela
Pega na coxinha dela
Sobe mais um pouquinho
Pega no rostinho dela
Pega no peitinho dela
Pega no umbigo dela
Desce devagarinho
The lyrics to Asa De Águia's song Manivela talk about the titular dance move, the "Dança da Manivela" and seemingly the origins of it, according to the spoken intro to the song. The intro talks about how God created man, and man created Nero, who in turn created the Manivela dance. The actual lyrics of the song are then sung from the perspective of someone who asks their lover if they want to dance the Manivela. The lover responds by saying it's too hot and too cold at the same time, but they then start to dance and the lyrics describe different body parts to touch.
The lyrics themselves are fairly straightforward, they paint the picture of a dance that is intimate and physical. The spoken intro however, adds an interesting layer of mythology and history to the song, linking a modern dance trend all the way back to God's creation of humanity. This could be interpreted in different ways, perhaps as a commentary on the cyclical nature of culture or a reminder that despite progress and technological advancements, humanity is still shaped and defined by its past.
