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.

Daniela Mercury

Rio, rio, rio
Rio pra no chorar
Pra quem no sabe sou rio
A cantar
Som do Flamengo
Soa ali em Botafogo
Sou da casquinha do ovo
Essas flores
Na Rocinha vou plantar
Quem olhar minha barraca
No morro da Santa Marta
Quer morar
Rio, rio, rio
Rio pra no chorar
Pra quem no sabe sou Rio
A cantar
Se tenho fome
Como logo o Po de Acar
Urro no morro da Urca
Se quero abrao
Tenho o Cristo pra abraar
Tamborim pra ti tarol
Escalados pelo sol
Rio e morro de amar
