* XandĂŁo (Alexandre Menezes) - guitars
* Lauro Farias - bass
* Nelson Meirelles - keyboards
* Marcelo Lobato- drums


Origins

O Rappa got their start in 1993, when Jamaican reggae artist Papa Winnie arrived in Brazil for a series of show and needed a back up band to support him. Four people were immediately picked: Nelson Meirelles, a well-known Rio de Janeiro indie producer; Marcelo Lobato, former member of África Gumbe; Alexandre (Xandão) Menezes, a musician with African influences; and Marcelo Yuka, a prolific songwriter and member of KMD-5 at the time. After the shows with Winnie, the foursome decided to keep the band going and added a vocalist and fifth member, Marcelo Falcão, recruited through an ad in Rio’s main newspaper. In 1994, they released their first album, O Rappa, on the Warner label.


Tragedy

In 2001, Marcelo Lobato who was originally on keyboard had to take over drum duties after the band’s original drummer and main songwriter, Marcelo Yuka, was shot multiple times during a robbery near his house in Rio, which severely compromised movement in both his legs and one of his arms. Yuka has been the biggest contributor of the band's social projects for years, even after turning paralytic. He is currently working on other music projects such as F.Ur.T.O.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O Rappa's song "7 Vezes" talk about the importance of persistence, determination, and even loss when it comes to achieving one's goals. The repeated phrases "Deixa o mundo avisar de teu nome" (Let the world announce your name) and "Sete vezes escrevi o seu nome" (I wrote your name seven times) suggest that the singer is determined to make a mark in the world and to not let their efforts go unnoticed. The repeated question "SerĂĄ que Ă©, Ă©, fato necessĂĄrio diz que Ă©, Ă©" (Is it, is it, necessary fact, say that it is, is it) implies that the singer is questioning whether the steps they're taking towards success are indeed necessary or simply a form of punishment. The lines "Saber perder Ă©, saber perder Ă©, saber perder alguma coisa pra sobreviver" (Knowing how to lose is, knowing how to lose is, knowing how to lose something to survive) suggest that the singer is willing to sacrifice something in order to succeed.


The lyrics are somewhat open to interpretation, but at their core, they seem to be about the importance of determination, persistence, and sacrifice. The repetition of certain phrases and questions adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves of the importance of what they're doing.
