This is the definition of Asa de Águia, which started its history in 1987 and became a kind of "institution" of the Carnival in Bahia and of the main micaretas (a small Carnival) of Brazil. With a solid formation, the band Asa de Águia is composed by five high-qualified musicians.

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.

Baila Que Eu Vou
Asa de Águia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

É amor todo dia
É verão alegria, aê
É calor todo dia
É verão na Bahia, aê
Quero seguir
Sempre a cantar
Folhas no vento a bailar
Pra conseguir

Basta sentir o luar (2x)

Baila que eu vou
Baila que eu vou
Encontrar você
Baila que eu vou
Baila que eu vou
Mergulhar no mar

Ainda me lembro
Que um dia joguei
Essa mensagem
Sempre vai navegar
No vai e vem

Das ondas eu desejei
Você pra mim

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asa de Águia's "Baila Que Eu Vou" is a celebratory ode to life and love in the summer in Bahia, Brazil. The repetition of "é amor todo dia" and "é verão todo dia" effectively communicates the underlying theme that love and warmth are present every day, not just in the literal sense of summer. The imagery of "folhas no vento a bailar" captures the movement and joy of life, as if the world is dancing with the singer. The chorus, "baila que eu vou", translates to "dance and I will follow" which can be interpreted as the singer's willingness to follow their lover wherever they go, both physically and emotionally.

The second verse describes a moment in the past where the singer threw a message out to sea, hoping their lover would receive it. The message is said to still be sailing on the waves, an eternal expression of the singer's desire for their lover. This moment adds a layer of depth to the otherwise upbeat song, hinting at the longing and vulnerability that exists even in the midst of love and joy.
