0:33
Anitta, welcome to the show. Thank you. How are you Maybe not. I know.
0:38
We can revisit that question here at the end.
0:40
But before we get started, how are you around spicy food?
0:44
I I don't think it's going to be I mean that a nightmare.
0:45
I told my family, uh oh guys, so back in Brazil, they're in Brazil, I sent a link of the show and I said, I'm shooting a show.
0:53
And they're like, no, you're not, you're never going to be able to do that cuz they know me.
1:00
And I say, yeah, I'm doing it. They said, why?
1:01
I said, my PR said it's amazing.
1:05
So I'm going to obligate my PR to eat with us. Well, you know what?
1:07
Today, Anitta, we're going to prove them all wrong.
1:09
Are you ready to get started? No, but let's go.
1:31
I'm feeling like I'm pretending I'm on a date, the first date. Oh, okay.
1:34
That doesn't matter what happens, we just pretend it's all good cuz we want to do good for the partner. Mhm.
1:39
That's what I'm pretending now.
1:40
And I'm here for support, too.
1:40
All right, it goes both ways.
1:42
So this first one is the classic chili maple and then you'll start at the handle over here. Okay, it's this one. Yep. Not that one. No, no. Don't Not yet. Not yet.
1:54
I'm crying for the first one. Woo. This one's really bad. This [ __ ] burning. Can I say bad words? Be yourself on the show. first time.
2:13
So I understand that baile funk music was illegal up until like 2009.
2:14
What was it like to be like a literal outlaw performer?
2:20
You know, doing these shows, this art form that at the time was criminalized.
2:25
Yes, so what happens is like in Brazil, the rhythm, so Miami bass, Afrika Bambaataa, these rhythms in Brazil, they were all in English or other languages, whatever.
2:36
And in Brazil, they wanted to understand what was going on.
2:39
So they would do their own version in Portuguese and they would add the beats in in like to sound more Brazilian swag.
2:49
So it was like um the girls just want to have fun in Brazil, it was Zudol, sem primer meu amor.
2:57
There's like the Brazilian version of it with a funk beat in the back, more like Miami bass vibe, but they would change a little bit.
3:03
The artists, they would sing about what happens in a favela and then the government would would get pissed and blame it on the rhythm.
3:13
While in reality, you should change the reality of the people there.
3:16
Give us opportunity, give give us structure so we would sing about other stuff, you know?
3:28
I told my dad I was coming, he sent me a bunch of hemorrhoids um medicines. That's a good dad. That's a good dad. tomorrow. Okay.
3:39
So this next one's the curry verde here.
3:44
So I'm intrigued by an experiment that you did on a trip to Mexico where you asked the taxi cab driver to take me to a nightclub where the rich people hang out and then later that night take me to a club where the poor people go.
3:55
I'm curious, what did you learn observe during that experience and then follow up question, which nightclub played the better music? Ah, the poor people.
4:06
I mean, I come from a poor origin so for me it's always more fun the urban nights, 100% like So I just went to Mexico and everything went wrong in this business trip and I was like, you know, [ __ ] everybody.
4:19
I'm just going to really I'm going to realize what's going on alone.
4:25
And then it was super boring the fancy one.
4:28
People were just saying like this.
4:32
And I was like, Jesus Christ, we can't do [ __ ] So then I left.
4:34
I said, okay, now take me to the poorest one and then it was just reggaeton and people were dancing, having fun, hot guys, hot girls.
4:42
It's like this is my place.
4:44
So I started to Shazam all the songs and then I went to the hotel and I searched about all the singers and everything.
4:50
There was J Balvin, everybody.
4:53
I started to text everybody on Instagram.
4:55
It was great and then I started everything cuz I loved it. Lemon pepper.
5:05
I never put lemon on my food. First time, Mom.
5:09
Mom, I'm going to put Brazilian subtitles on this. Okay.
5:19
This is the This is easy.
5:22
The easiest one from them.
5:24
Why didn't we start with this?
5:26
First one kind of caught you a little bit. Okay. Oh, good. Okay. I'm so relaxed now. Yeah.
5:33
There was no need to be nervous this entire time.
5:35
date I went once Tell me about it.
5:37
and the guy said, oh, I'm taking you to my restaurant, right? I was like, Oh. Okay. And he ordered for me. It was so bad. I I hating everything.
5:44
There was so much I don't eat black pepper, right? Mhm.
5:48
And everything had so much black pepper and I don't eat it because I know it causes hemorrhoids.
5:52
Me and my dad we go crazy.
5:55
And then I was just eating and I said, "Oh, I'm so full."
6:00
He was like, "Oh, you don't like the food?"
6:01
I said, "I love this restaurant. It's amazing." It was his restaurant.
6:04
Imagine if I would say like, "Oh, it's bad." Right. Terrible terrible food.
6:08
He This this chicken is better. We'll take that.
6:11
We'll take that all day long. All day long. Okay, good. Let's go.
6:21
Oh god, are we eating again?
6:23
That's how the show works for better or worse.
6:32
Now, this one's a step up.
6:35
So, I'm curious how you absorb this one, yeah. So good. Uh-oh.
6:41
I feel like the guy at the black pepper restaurant right now.
6:47
Oh, but this chocolate thing. Ghost pepper. So good, guys. I love her.
6:58
So, I'm a big fan of your song Veneno and then the gorgeous musical video accompaniment that I think gives a real like body and shape to the song's more stimulating qualities.
7:06
In the great tradition of creating songs to make love to, are there any essential ingredients?
7:13
Like what in your opinion makes for like bedroom anthem?
7:17
I love songs to make love.
7:20
I always do songs to twerk, but I love the songs to make love. It's so good.
7:23
Uh and the music video I've ever seen from Veneno with me with the snakes. snakes.
7:28
You had snakes all around you.
7:30
I love I always Lots of people all around you.
7:32
I think a good song to have sex needs to have that movement that you feel like you can go with it. You can Yeah.
7:40
ride with the song like you know?
7:43
And I I did this this course I took a course once of a tantric massage.
7:52
And I think it needs to match that vibe of the tantric massage.
7:56
You start like with the physical touch.
7:58
So, it needs to be sensitive.
8:02
Not that strong, not that more like sensual, slow. It was yeah, it's good.
8:10
And the course was super weird actually, but it works when you put it in reality.
8:20
Now it's Los Calientes, rojo. Ooh, my god.
8:30
I actually think this one is maybe a little bit easier than the last one. Yeah. Actually, oh, thank god.
8:34
This this show is good for who have like problems with taking shits. Right, yeah. We we clear you out.
8:42
It's like a treatment, yeah.

8:51
Uh yeah, titanium reinforced, lots of military technology, you know? Very important. Yes.
8:56
There was this one time I went to this fancy hotel I had a meeting. And I needed to go.
9:01
The food was some I needed to go this about you, by the way.
9:07
In the beginning of the meeting Mhm. I was like, oh my god.
9:11
And I left and I went to the bathroom of this fancy fancy fancy hotel.
9:17
And everybody was knocking at the door because it was like just one bathroom.
9:21
And then I was like, oh, I'm busy, I'm coming. And it wouldn't go down. Oh, no.
9:26
was flushing flushing flushing flushing flushing.
9:29
When I saw, the water was coming like on the floor. I was desperate.
9:34
And I it took me like 40 minutes there.
9:37
and then they put like stripes on the bathroom.
9:39
It was like They shut it down. Yeah, yeah. They shut it down.
9:42
And then when I came back to the meeting, they were like, "Where were you?"
9:45
I said, "Oh, I just took a little walk."
9:46
I love I had to take a phone call real quick. It was bad.
9:50
Probably they put this one in the food there. The spicy shark. Eat the heat.

10:33
For someone who's never had hot sauce before, that is brave. Hi guys. I get it. I get it.
10:46
So, I notice that to this day, you'll still direct many of your own music videos, including for your recent hit Envolver, which at the time of this interview has something like 600 million views.
10:57
How do you think about pairing a song with the visuals?
10:59
Like, does it start with the choreography?
11:04
And then grow from there?
11:04
Is it more natural than that?
11:10
So, no, it depends on the song and then on the video.
11:12
Sometimes when I'm in the studio, I already can vision this the video.
11:19
Like the colors are there, and you can kind of see it.
11:22
Yeah, I I'm like singing, cutting the song.
11:24
I'm in love with movies, series, everything.
