The North American leg of the Baile Funk Experience Tour will kick off May 18 at Salon LA in Mexico City and wrap June 2 at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York City. Anitta’s itinerary will also include stops in Miami, Orlando, Boston, Toronto, and Chicago. (While this marks Anitta’s first official North American tour, she has played plenty of one-off gigs and festivals here over the past several years, including Coachella in 2022.)
The Brazilian musician has revealed that the album will be out on April 26 via her new label Republic Records, alongside Universal Music Latin Entertainment.
‘Double Team’ includes features from Puerto Rican artist Brray and Spanish singer Bad Gyal. Check it out here:
Speaking about the record, Anitta has said: “’Funk Generation’ is an album where I celebrate my roots. It’s where I express the power of [Rio de Janeiro’s] funk in every track its unique, danceable, and sensual beats. It’s a rhythm born in the favelas, where I grew up, and it exudes resistance and art in every community.”
“I’m proud to work on a project about a genre that has been unfairly stigmatized in Brazil but is slowly gaining recognition worldwide. In the album, I bring in important collaborations that helped me tell this story. I’ve been involved in every step of the production and visual direction, and I’ve achieved the result I’ve been aiming for.”
The album follows on from last August’s EP release of ‘Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story’.
In April last year, Anitta parted ways with Warner Music Group, after claims that she would have “auctioned off her organs” to end her contract with them. She had been signed with the company for over a decade.
