Brazilian singer Anitta released “EQUILIBRIVM II” on Friday, an album inspired by love, spirituality, and ancestral heritage that blends traditional Brazilian rhythms with collaborations from prominent Brazilian artists, her team reported.
The album features thirteen Brazilian artists, including Maria Bethânia, Alceu Valença, Mart’nália, and Brô MC’s.
With 17 tracks, the new project pays tribute to Brazil’s rich culture through a blend of genres such as bossa nova, samba, reggae, funk, and forró.
“I poured my heart and soul into this album. Anyone who listens to it will realize that. These songs reflect a lot of my spirituality, my way of seeing the world, and the aspects of Brazilian culture that inspire me, and they also have autobiographical elements,” the singer said in a statement.
