Ao Som do 150
MC Rebecca
Empowerment and Celebration in the Beat of 150 BPM
MC Rebecca's song "Ao Som do 150" is a vibrant celebration of self-confidence, empowerment, and the joy of dancing to the rhythm of 150 BPM, a popular tempo in Brazilian funk music. The lyrics paint a picture of a group of friends, or 'bonde,' arriving at a party and immediately taking over the scene with their energy and charisma. The mention of not giving 'base' to avoid problems suggests a sense of independence and self-assuredness, indicating that they are there to enjoy themselves without any unnecessary drama.
The song also highlights the diversity and unity among the women in the group, with references to a 'loira' (blonde) and a 'morena' (brunette), as well as the 'novinha da Colômbia' and 'novinha da Gaiola,' representing different backgrounds and communities. This inclusivity is a nod to the multicultural and diverse nature of Brazilian society, particularly within the funk scene, which often brings together people from various walks of life.
The repetitive chorus, "Ao som do 150 ela senta, senta, senta," emphasizes the infectious and irresistible nature of the 150 BPM beat, encouraging everyone to dance and let loose. The act of 'sitting' in this context is a common dance move in funk music, symbolizing freedom of expression and the celebration of one's body. MC Rebecca's energetic delivery and the song's pulsating rhythm make it a powerful anthem for parties and gatherings, where the primary goal is to have fun and embrace the moment.
