Her style is considered axé but her music also steers into samba and MPB territory, also drawing on African rhythms and reggae at times. 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.

Bom, bom, bom, bom
Êta levada boa
Boa, boa, boa, boa
A lua está cheia
A maré está mansa
Ninguém vai ficar parado
De braços cruzados sem se mexer
Até quem não sabe dançar
Joga um passo sem saber
Vem gente do mundo inteiro
Pro país do carnaval
Cada um dança de um jeito
Isso que é bem legal
Olha só que swing bom,
Bom, bom, bom, bom
Êta levada boa
Boa, boa, boa, boa
A lua está cheia
A maré está mansa
Vem meu amor, vem cair na dança
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai
Vem, vem, vem, vem, vem
