Feijão com Arroz

The album, which was produced by Alfredo Moura (except for the track "Vide Gal", produced by Rildo Time), sold almost two million copies in Brazil, receiving a diamond disc certification of the Brazilian Association of Record Producers. It was the third and so far last album of Mercury's career to receive a diamond disc.

The album's success was not limited to the public. It was very well received by critics, being considered as her best album, according to the evaluation of the All Music Guide. Daniela said about the album:

It's a very complex record. You can see it when I sing his songs live. There are many instruments of different percussion, and to transpose it to the stage takes a certain job. When we recorded, we got to stay three days mixing a single song. I think the record confirms the serious research I've been doing about everything I learned over the years with Carnival, with the electric trio, with regional northeastern rhythms. I have put everything on it, in terms of great quality.

On the cover of Feijão com arroz, photographed by Mario Cravo Neto, Daniela embraces a black model. The singer said that the photo epitomizes her work, "I am a white singer in the world of african blocks". A poll conducted by the Jornal da Globo website chose the album cover as the best in the history of Brazilian music, beating Tropicália, Secos e Molhados and Cabeça de Dinossauro covers.
