Singer strings together five tracks from latest album to make fans “feel the energy of a true Brazilian Baile Funk”
Anitta provides fans a preview of her upcoming tour with a dance-heavy video featuring a medley of five tracks from her recently released album Funk Generation.
“Guuuuuuyyyyysssss you’ve been asking for a FUNK GENERATION performance so here it is… I’ve prepared not just one, but five songs in one video for you to feel the energy of a true Brazilian Baile Funk,” Anitta wrote of the video. “Now hit play and enjoy!”
The visual seamlessly strings together the LP’s “Sabana,” “Lose Ya Breath,” “Cria De Favela,” “Puta Cara” and “Savage Funk,” and hints at the happenings onstage during Anitta’s North American tour, which has been advertised as “a unique funk experience in special intimate venues” that gives fans “an authentic taste of the iconic funk parties in Brazil.”
The Brazilian singer added, “This is also a preview of what to expect on tour. I can’t wait to see you in person.”
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the musician spoke about how a cancer scare in 2022 compelled her to overhaul her management and label teams so she could focus on making an album steeped in Brazilian funk (a.k.a. “funk carioca” or “baile funk”) — a frenetic mix of hip-hop, African rhythms, and electronic music.
“I was thinking I was going to die,” Anitta said. “And I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to do an album for myself in case it’s the last thing I do — not worrying about what’s going to happen after the album, not worrying about if the album is going to be good, if people are going to like it, if it’s going to be on the charts.’”
Anitta’s North American leg of her Baile Funk Experience Tour kicks off May 18 in Mexico City and runs eight dates before concluding June 2 in Brooklyn, New York.
