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.

Música Da Rua Lyrics

Daniela Mercury

Alegria agora
Agora e amanh
Alegria agora e depois
e depois e depois de amanh

Essa alegria minha fala
Que declara a revoluo
revoluo

Dessa arte que arde
De um povo que invade
Essas ruas de clave e sol
e de multido

E a gente dana
A gente dana a nossa dana
A gente dana
A nossa dana a gente dana

Azul a cor de um pas
Que cantando ele diz
Que feliz e chora
