Gabriel o Pensador is a famous rapper from Brazil. He was born in 4 of March of 1974 in Rio de Janeiro. His name Gabriel “O Pensador” means Gabriel “The Thinker”. His real name was Gabriel Contino but he has taken this name because each of his songs reflects on social themes. His career started in November 1992 when his first song was released Tô Feliz (Matei o Presidente) which translates in English to: I’m Happy (I killed the President). This song became very popular and many records were sold. Gabriel wrote this song because he expressing his opposition to the corruption of the government of Fernando Collor de Mello who was Brazil’s President at that time.
Gabriel wrote many popular songs and I chose for this assignment the song “Estudo Errado” which translates to English as: “Wrong Study”. The video featured in my blog has been represented by students of a school in Brazil but the music in the background is “Estudo Errado”. I personally enjoy this video because the movements and the actions these represent match the lyrics of the song. The lyrics describe students which dislike school but their parents force them to learn so they can obtain a good education that will help them in the future. His “raps” have catchy beats and can often be used to dance.
I chose this “Rapper” because his songs represent the difficulties the world is facing. According to his biography Gabriel writes whatever enters his mind and then condenses these ideas into a song. We also share many of life perspectives such as: enjoying life, learning and becoming an influence in others people life.
The music which best coincides with my personal taste is Pop and Rap because their not too loud and fast as Rock music but also they are not slow as Classical music. Nowadays, I don’t have a lot of time to listen to music; I am usually working on my school projects and homework.
