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. The performance came alive with special appearances by Daniela Mercury and Olodum, which gave the much-needed energy to the relatively apathetic audience. Guest Narcisinho, former Olodum member and author of "Várias queixas," was also present at the event.
