Akop Baltayan on Where to Park
Park at the unstacked parking lot. It is well worth the extra fee for convinience and easy exit
-
Akop Baltayan on What to Wear
Bring a jacket. It often gets chilly at the Greek theater.

One of the few venues that does not rip you off with way overpriced drinks

The opening act Brothers of Brazil were not my cup of tea. Very energetic but way too much screaming and lyrics were impossible to understand. Daniela was terrific! Beautiful, energetic, and the whole audience was up and dancing the whole night! For someone who doesn't speak Portuguese at all, it was hard to have a real appreciation for her talent but enjoyed her quite a bit. Would recommend her to people that know the language for sure!!!Written on Oct 14 2011

This was the best event that I have attended in the past several years. I loved the music, I loved the costumes, I loved the dancers. I particularly loved the energy of Daniela Mercury. People that were in my group came to the concert reluctantly. After the concert everyone thanked me for the concert. In fact, one person called me the day after the concert to rave about the greatness of the show. I hope that Ms Mercury will perform in LA again.Written on Oct 14 2011

I did not know who Daniela Mercury was until this concert. The price was right and the description of her style sounded good to me, so I bought the tickets.Written on Oct 24 2011
I am not Brazilian, but love the music, and she certainly has the soul for it. But what impressed me the most was her energy. The woman did not stop dancing, singing and jumping around for 2 straight hours. Not once did you hear her out of breath! I was tired just watching her!!
She incorporates her kids in the show, which makes it special and her costumes are nice.
She got the crowd literally moving from one end of the theatre to the other end and back as in a "moving wave".Had we been in a boat, we might have tipped over!Few artists have the power to move the masses like that.
She is charming, has a great voice and contagious energy. Good show!

Description
Born in the historic city of Salvador da Bahia, nearly two decades have passed since Daniela Mercury emerged as an Artist of a singular musical genre. Exploding in Brazil with her mammoth seminal album, Canto da Cidade, Mercury has never been satisfied with formulaic success, and she has constantly pushed at and redefined the boundaries of Brazilian popular music. Bold, curious, and endlessly inventive, she stirs and heats the cauldron that is the astounding diversity of Brazilian music.
Canibália is much more than Mercury's boldest and most radical new approach to Brazilian popular music. It is the creation of a movement intended to follow through from the birth of the Modernist Movement in Brazil and the internationally resonant movements of Tropicalia. By interweaving Brazil's rich and vibrant cultural past with current and futuristic international trends, Mercury forges a new history and a new chapter in her career.
Mercury says, "Canibália is an embrace, a swallow of Tropicália, the Clube da Esquina and everything that has since been created in the arts in Brazil since the ‘Semana de 22' [‘Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922'; the Week of Modern Art]. I yearn for the liberty that comes from this anthropophagic movement, from the Cannibalist Manifesto of Oswald de Andrade and its practice by Mario de Andrade, who said that these mixtures reinforce our Brazilian identity."
In the past year alone, Daniela Mercury and has sold-out in over 20 cities worldwide, and has performed Canibália for over 7 million people. Mercury's performances embody a beautiful and explosive celebration of the past, present and future of Latin music, and her remarkable artistry, energy and joyous sensuality transform every one of her concerts into an exhilarating night at Carnaval.
"Throughout my life, I have always had this cannibalist and anthropophagic spirit," says Mercury. With Canibália, her most ambitious spirit comes to the fore!
