Biography

Gabriel o Pensador (born on March 4th, 1974) is the alias of Gabriel Contino, a Brazilian rapper, writer, and entrepreneur whose incisive lyrics are known for tackling diverse subjects such as social inequality, racism, and political corruption. Born in a middle-class family in Rio de Janeiro, Contino rose to fame after his single criticizing president Fernando Collor de Mello, âTÃ´ Feliz (Matei o Presidente),â landed him a contract with Sony Music. His eponymous album, released in 1993, sold 350,000 copies and earned him the PrÃªmio da MÃºsica Brasileira as Revelation of the Year. Ainda Ã sÃ³ o ComeÃ§o (1996), the follow-up to Continoâs studio debut, generated controversy in the educational community due to the single âEstudo Errado,â which openly criticized Brazilâs education system. In 1997, Contino released Quebra-CabeÃ§a, which went on to become his best-selling album, with more than 1.5 million copies sold. The albumâs lyrics remained in line with his previous releases, touching on alcoholism, violence, and public health. Just like its predecessor, NÃ¡degas a Declarar (1999), it was quickly certified gold and included collaborations with Fernanda Abreu and Lulu Santos. Produced by Itaal Shur and Liminha, Seja VocÃª Mesmo (mas nÃ£o Seja sempre o Mesmo) (2001) was described by many as his ârockâ album due to its extensive use of electric guitars. Four years later, Contino reappeared with Cavaleiro Andante (2005), whose only single âPalavras Repetidasâ peaked at Number 18 on Brazilâs Top 20 charts. A six-year silence ensued until the release of Sem Crise (2012). âSurfista SolitÃ¡rio,â featuring MPB legend Jorge Ben Jor, reached Number 17 on Billboard Brazilâs Hot 100.
