Gabriel o Pensador – Até Quando?

	Vol.VII Ep.024 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Gabriel Contino (born March 4, 1974), better known as Gabriel o Pensador is a Brazilian rapper. Coming from a unique background among Brazilian rappers, Gabriel, the son of a well known journalist in Brazil, hit fame in 1992 with the song "Tô Feliz (Matei o Presidente)" the debut single from his first and eponymous album. This song was written in protest of President Fernando Collor de Mello and his corrupt administration. Interestingly, Gabriel's mother was Collor's press secretary. The same album also yielded other hits, including "Lôrabúrra" and "Retrato de um Playboy", bringing hip hop mainstream attention in Brazil by catering to the middle class. Although rapping about everyday life, Gabriel also found time to talk about social injustices with his fourth single, "O Resto do Mundo", a more downbeat track about homeless life, with a purposefully depressive melody and flow. Gabriel was "notorious for his biting attacks on some of the major ills of Brazilian society: poverty, racism, violence". His following albums were also commercially successful, with a careful blend of socially relevant tracks mixed with airwave-minded pop anthems. His third album, Quebra-Cabeça, was released in 1997 and sold over one million copies. In 1994, while touring in Portugal, Gabriel's song "Lavagem Cerebral" was received with much praise. The piece was accepted as "a strong social critique of Brazilian society and of the ideology of the dominating classes". The rapper has also released two books: "Diário Noturno" (Brazil and Portugal; poems and short stories), and "Um garoto chamado Rorbeto" (Brazil; fiction poetry for children, awarded as best book in its category by the Jabuti Prize in 2006). In 2008 he launched the book "Meu Pequeno Rubro-Negro".
