From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Rappa O Rappa is a Brazilian reggae/rock band. In 1993, the reggae artist Papa Winnie came to Brazil, but he had no band to present the shows with him. Immediately, four persons were picked: Nelson Meirelles, Marcelo Lobato, Alexandre Menezes and Marcelo Yuka were grouped. After Papa Winnie's shows, the four decided to stay together, picking Falcão as the 5th member and vocalist. In 1994, they released their first album, on Warner, O Rappa.
The songs of O Rappa contain sharp protests against the social problems occurring in the country, and the members of the band themselves are supporters of numerous social projects.
On 7 July 2007 they performed at the Brazilian leg of Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro.
