Synopsis

Amazon.com
Whatever they put in the water in Salvador, Brazil, seems to work wonders. Not only has the city produced talents like Caetano Veloso, Olodum, and Margareth Menezes, but also the queen of percussive axe music, Daniela Mercury. On her first studio outing in three years, she puts an extra gloss on the production (thanks to Emilio Estefan Jr., Gloria Estefan's husband), but it doesn't obscure the strong roots of her music. Instead, it puts her in a position to reach a much broader audience with plenty of electric guitar on tracks like "Axe Axe" and rhythms that make sitting still impossible. Even when she lowers the flame, as on the samba-ish "Sou Voce," her rich voice remains irresistible. Few artists can cover the spectrum of their music with such passion and integrity, and reconcile art and commerce in such a package. --Chris Nickson

Pure genius
The funky reporter | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/21/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Cd is pure genius. Probably the best way to start your Daniela collection.This is how I got into Brazilian music,and the world is still catching up to this breathtaking production.This is one of my all-time favorite CDs. When I master my own music, I bring this one along to compare levels & frequencies, cuz it's near perfect. Daniela is a beauty with an even more beautiful voice. Folks, this is what music is all about!"
