🇧🇷 Anitta is crossing cultures with her new LP and by performing at Coachella
Last month, Brazil’s resident superstar became the first artist from her country to hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Global 200 chart. Today, she’s set to make her live debut at Coachella. To add to her recent successes, Anitta also released her new album,, earlier this week. Across most of the 15 tracks, she’s embedded Brazil’s funk carioca sound into Latin and American-influenced pop songs, which reflect the two major markets she’s broken through from Rio de Janeiro.
Before becoming one of Brazil’s biggest stars, Anitta was born Larissa de Macedo Machado in Rio de Janeiro. She was raised in the city’s impoverished Honório Gurgel, one of the many favelas where Afro-Brazilians created the nation’s funk carioca music. It was there that Anitta combined her love of singing with the music that she grew up on, becoming a powerful female voice in a male-dominated genre.
“I like to be free,” Anitta says, her native Portuguese accent spilling into both her Spanish and English. “I like to have the freedom to be sexual if I feel like it, and to be sensual when I feel like it. Society shouldn’t expect women to behave this or that way. We should be free to be whoever we want to be without our talents being minimized because of our sexuality.”
