Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars One of her two very best albums, September 12, 2001
This review is from: Sol da Liberdade (Audio CD)
All of her albums her fun, but I'd rate this and "Feijao com Arroz" as the two best. Buy either one as a starter in Daniela Mercury. Make sure you have both if you're wanting her best stuff.

Like "Feijao com Arroz," this album is fun, enjoyable, spirited Bahia pop all the way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE MUSIC, August 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sol da Liberdade (Audio CD)
This is one of the best CDs I have bought so far, filled with hauting music that really gives energy to the spirit. Every song has perfect arrangements, reflecting the richness and beauty of Brazilian music. Best of all, Daniela Mercury's voice gives a sense of strength and happiness. If anyone would like a taste of real Brazilian music, purchase this awsome CD. She will also be in concert Sept. 15, 2000 in Washington, D.C. giving a powerful show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daniela is AMAZING!!, September 7, 2000
By Michael Billups (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sol da Liberdade (Audio CD)
Clever arrangements, exquisite vocal stylings, and lots of just excellently performed music makes this CD one of the best on the market --- Brazilian or otherwise!

Daniela Mercury's unique character is displayed in the selections for this project; ranging from the sheer joy and celebration of "Itapua @no 2000" to the haunting mystique of "Sou Voce`" to the proud and conscious "Ile Perola Negra" and "Axe, Axe."

This is a MUST for your collection --- no matter what kind of music you like!
