The musician and composer Marcelo Yuka, one of the founders of the band O Rappa, is hospitalized in a serious state at the Hospital Quinta d’or, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
According to friends heard by G1 on Friday (4), the 53-year-old artist has a generalized infection picture. At the request of the family, the hospital did not disclose information about the health status.
According to his friend and former Luiz Fernando Barakat, Yuka suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) on Wednesday (2). In the middle of last year, he had already had another stroke.
In 2000, Yuka became paraplegic when he was struck by nine rounds while a robbery was happening to a woman in Tijuca, in the North Zone of Rio.
The artist was the drummer of O Rappa, a band that came to success with the second album, “Rappa Mundi”, in 1996. Yuka is creator of hits as “Fisherman of Illusions”, “What’s Left of Heaven” and “My soul (the Peace I don’t Want)”, all with themes such as urban violence, racism and social inequalities.
Two years after being shot, in 2002, he officiated his departure from the band, claiming to have been expelled by the other members for not agreeing with the direction of the group.
Created another band, F. UR. T.O. (urban front of organized works), part of a social project that already existed at the time of O Rappa. In 2017, he launched the first solo album, “Songs for After Hatred”, in which he kept the discourse always politicized of his compositions.
The political positioning led him to join the Psol in 2010, and to be a candidate for deputy mayor of Rio, in 2012, on the plate of today deputy Federal Marcelo Freixo.
