Anitta, born Larissa de Macedo Machado, delivered two electrifying performances from her upcoming album Equilibrium, due April 16 through Republic Records.
For her first performance, the Rio de Janeiro native brought a striking visual to her newly released Shakira collaboration, “Choka Choka.” Dressed in a form-fitting brown ensemble and flanked by similarly styled dancers, she powered through the pulsating track amid flashing lights and a live backing band. When Shakira’s vocals kicked in, Anitta flashed a smile and kept the momentum going.
The singer-songwriter returned later in the show for an atmospheric performance of the moody track “Várias Quejas,” which translates to “Several Complaints.” Now dressed in a beautiful purple dress against a lush, greenery-filled stage design, Anitta delivered an emotionally charged rendition of the track, moving sensually with the groove of the live band.
Anitta has long been a trailblazing force in bringing Brazilian music to the global stage. From her viral reggaetón hit “Envolver” — which reached No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in 2022 — to her standout performances at festivals like Coachella, she has continued to expand her international reach as one of Brazil’s most prominent musical exports.
The Grammy-nominated artist recently released her latest single, “Pinterest,” an acoustic bossa nova–inspired track infused with her signature pop flair. Issued in both Spanish and Portuguese versions, the song highlights her versatility and serves as part of her new album, Equilibrium.
The upcoming project follows 2024’s Funk Generation, which earned a nomination for best Latin pop album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
