Interviewed by Roda Viva this Monday (20), Daniela Mercury spoke about her importance in generating awareness and jobs in the cultural sector in Brazil
In an interview for the program Living Wheelfrom the TV Culturaon Carnival Monday, February 20, Daniela Mercury reaffirmed her role as one of the main unofficial ambassadors of Carnival, Bahia, Axé Music, and one of those responsible for taking the carnival revelry to the outside world.
Considered the ‘Queen of Axé’, the singer was questioned by Ademir Correadirector of content at Rolling Stone Brazil about his contribution to the amplification of the genre. Graduated in Dance from the Federal University of Bahia, she is also a composer, instrumentalist, actress, businesswoman and music producer.
With presentations that move the economy, boost tourism, in addition to exalting our beauties, Daniela understands the impact it has on generating job positions directly and indirectly. “Only one security group is 800 people. The team of musicians, technicians, dancers, choreographers, seamstresses, scenography […]. I’m the only one who put so many dancers up there, I choreograph for six hours of show, with eighty songs a day, in visceral and improvised presentations. I can’t tell you, but we have a huge impact.”
I measured, for example, a return impact for the city of Salvador and the state of Bahia, seven years ago, without measuring the internet, around 70 million. Other than that, everything I’ve ever done, from the “The Corner of the City”more than 500,000 people began to attend Carnival in Bahia annually.
