Review: Luísa Sonza brings her multiple versions to Palco Mundo, from demure bossa nova to hypersexualized funk

Singer Luísa Sonza opened Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo with her new show, themed "Brutal paradise - this is the story of my twenties," displayed on the screen before the performance began. The show featured flames, heavy beats, distorted guitars and a female ballet on red chairs, creating a frenetic and visually impactful atmosphere.

Luísa dominated the stage wearing red pants and a black bustier, singing tracks like "Doce mentira," "Santa maculada," "Luísa Manequim" and "Lança menina." The review points out that the show was more visual than sonic, working better for those watching on the festival's screen, since the singer's own body functioned as part of the scenery.

The audience eagerly awaited the bossa nova elements and Roberto Menescal's entrance into the show. During the stage change for the master's band, a video with Menescal's speeches and images distracted the audience while the set was being prepared.

After the transition, Luísa returned to the stage wearing a bossa nova dress and continued the show with songs from her Chico Buarque repertoire and a collaboration with the artist, completing the transition between the different styles of her career.
