Margareth Menezes is one of the most popular and richest World Music Singer who was born on October 13, 1962 in Salvador, Brazil. Brazilian actress and singer Dandalunda is best known for her hits “Dandalunda”, and “Pharaoh(Divinity Of Egypt).” Over 15 albums have been released and she has won numerous awards throughout her career.
She has performed with artists such as Marisa Mont, Carlinhos brown, and Jimmy Cliff.
In 1990, one of Menezes’s tracks “Elegibô (Uma Historia De Ifa)” was used in the Mickey Rourke film Wild Orchid. This prompted Island Records in the US to release a compilation album of some of her older material from Brazil on their subsidiary label, Mango. The album, simply titled Elegibô, was an instant hit, reaching # 1 on the Billboard World Music chart at a time when David Byrne was championing Brazilian music in the US. The title track itself became a regular staple at clubs playing so-called world music throughout the US and Europe. The album also received a full release in the UK, Germany and France. A single, “Tenda do Amor”, was also released from the album in some European territories. Menezes toured internationally on the back of this album, generating a lot of press in the process. A second US-released follow-up album Kindala, released late 1991, but repackaged in some territories from the Brazilian version of the same name, also achieved some success. This release also gave Menezes a minor hit album in France too.
Menezes is best known in Brazil for her song “Me Abraça e Me Beija”, a major hit in 1990. She also scored another hit with “Dandalunda”, a song which became the unofficial anthem of the 2003 Salvador carnival.
Adelicio Soares da Purificacao and Dona Diva are her parents. She is the mother of five younger brothers. In 2008, she married Robson Costa, a plastic surgeon.
