Review: Daniela Mercury and Olodum give an energy boost to the sleepy repertoire of Gilsons on the Sunset Stage

Gilsons, the trio of Gilberto Gil's children (Fran, João and José), took the Sunset Stage at Rock in Rio with a repertoire considered limited and lackluster, playing hits like "Love love," "Pra gente acordar" and "Vento alecrim" right at the beginning of the show.
