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.
A Lenda
Asa de Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Um filme que passou outro dia
Fosse a história
De uma lenda de amor
Queriam izabeau mas ela era minha
Só um pacto de guerra
Com as forças do além tiraria
Um céu azul e o mar bastaria
Mas veio o vendaval
Levou você de mim
Um bruxo fez a feitiçaria
E assim o nosso amor
Transformou-se numa eterna ferida
Uh uh!
E assim ficou
A lenda do amor
De dia águia
De noite um lobo
Impossível se amar
Uh uh
E assim ficou
A lenda de áquila
Totalmente igual ao nosso amor
The lyrics of "A Lenda" by Asa de Águia tell the story of a legendary love that was torn apart by a war between supernatural forces. The singer expresses his disbelief that the film he saw the other day could actually be the story of a love legend. The legend tells of a man who was in love with a woman named Izabeau. However, the forces of the beyond needed her for their own purposes and so the man made a pact with them to try and keep her close to him. This pact failed and a powerful witchcraft spell was cast that transformed their love into an eternal wound that would never heal.
The lyrics are sung with a sense of regret and pain, as the singer remembers the love that was lost. The imagery of an eagle by day and a wolf by night captures the idea of the two different personas that the lovers had to inhabit due to their situation, unable to truly be themselves or express their love. The lyrics suggest that this love story became a legend that has been passed down through the ages, and that it is parallel to the love that the singer once had.
