Revolution and reinvention are in Daniela Mercury’s blood. At sixteen she began performing in bars in Salvador da Bahia and discovered that her calling in life was music. Her passion for Bahian Carnaval led to the ultimate challenge of singing in a trio elétrico. Mercury took to the rolling, amplified bandstand that lumbers down the avenue among Carnaval revelers at a time in which only men sang in blocos. Since then the festa barroca has become her milieu of choice for redefining her artistry.

Bate Couro Lyrics

Daniela Mercury

Alegria um dom
Que herdei do meu rei
Desde os tempos de outrora
Tristeza, no meu corao no mora
Bate couro que eu j vou
Que eu j vou sapatear
E cantando eu vou
Lhe tirar pra danar
Eu sou do xote
Do maxixe, do xaxado
Rebola, embola
Quando ouo essa cano
Dano de costas
De frente, dano de lado
Marco o compasso
No toque da marcao
