The Brazilian band is a pop rock band founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1988. At first they were only into the gospel trend, being one of the most famous groups in its style. In 1999 the band decided to go mainstream and opened up for the rock genre. They quickly acquired many fans due to its vocal similarity to Renato Russo (famous legend of Brazilian pop rock).
The Colombian band was an alternative project with Grunge influences signed to MTM Records and managed by Jose Gandour. The band was formed in late 1993 by Amos Pineros, (Voice and Violin), Tomas Rueda (Bass Guitar), Miguel Navas (Lead and Rhythm Guitar) and Andres Crump (Drums). They were very popular and influential in the underground rock music circuit of Bogota.
Pineros went to form Ultrageno later on, a band with a much heavier sound and even bigger success. Ultrágeno on Flickr
Miguel Navas became a successful Electronic Music DJ, and Tomas Rueda is currently involved in other music projects and culinary arts. Andres Crump left music permanently.
The band is still considered very significant in the understanding of the Rock Music Scene in Bogota, Colombia.

Catedral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O meu olhar emite o profundo, por tudo que passei
Tenho o costume de andar pelas ruas, sem o esforço, a busca é impossível
E pela busca, rebusco o inexplicável que é fácil de entender
Eu quero ser simples, verdadeiro pra passear na roda gigante
Sentir você junto a cada instante, sem medo de viver
Seu amor me deixou livre, seu amor me deixou livre
The lyrics of Catedral's song "Roda Gigante" convey a sense of introspection and self-awareness. The singer reflects on the things he possesses and realizes that his most precious possession is his understanding of the world. He also hints at the challenges he has faced by claiming that his gaze "emits the profound" due to everything he has been through.
The artist also talks about his tendency to wander aimlessly through the streets, without any specific destination in mind. However, he finds that this wandering enables him to uncover things that are seemingly inexplicable but easy to comprehend once discovered. The singer then expresses his desire for simplicity and genuineness, especially when sharing moments in the Ferris wheel with his loved one.
The repeated refrain of "Seu amor me deixou livre" roughly translates to "Your love set me free". This could signify a relationship that empowers the singer to be his true self and allows him to enjoy the simple pleasures of life without fear.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the importance of mindfulness, introspection, and love that allows one to be authentic and enjoy life without the constraints of social expectations or fears.
