03Over his 40-year career, Madonna He ventured into different musical styles. The queen of pop is already in Brazil and will celebrate four decades of music with a free show on Copacabana beach, in Rio Janeiro, to end the “The Celebration Tou r”.
Madonna also made several partnerships between her 14 studio albums. One of these is with the most internationally known Brazilian funk singer: Anita .
Anitta teamed up with Madonna to record the funk “Faz Gostoso”. The song, in addition to being the first of its kind recorded by the queen of pop, is also the first time that Madonna sings in Portuguese.
The track is part of “Madame X”, Madonna’s studio album released in 2019.
“Madonna was something incredible that happened to me”, said Anitta in an interview with CNN in season. “She called me because of mutual friends we have in the fashion world. They told her about my work, she called me and asked me to participate in her new album. I really couldn’t believe it.”
The song, however, was not originally written for either Madonna or Anitta. “Faz Gostoso” was released in 2018 by singer Blaya.
Blaya, which is Karla Rodrigues' artistic name, is Portuguese-Brazilian. The singer was born in Fortaleza, but moved to Portugal when she was still young.
The influence of Portuguese music on this Madonna album goes beyond the artist's re-recording, as “Madame X” was conceived while the queen of pop lived in Portugal. She lived for three years in the capital Lisbon, until she decided to live in New York.
During this period, she experienced Portuguese culture, mainly through the influence of her children.
