Coachella 2022: Anitta’s powerful performance and big-name guests electrify crowd

Rent Computer Hardware You Need, When You Need It

Anitta is the biggest pop star in her native Brazil and given the size of that country that’s certainly something.

But based on her twilight performance on the Main stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival it’s not likely anything can stop her from going wherever she wants in the pop world.

On a stage designed to look like a working-class neighborhood in Rio, complete with laundry on the line outside a second-story window, a group of 20 or so brightly costumes dancers kicked off the show with – wait a minute, is that …?– Snoop Dogg onstage to welcome her to Coachella.

“Anitta, Anitta, so glad to meet ya,” Snoop rap-sang as she arrived on stage to sing “Onda Diferente, her 2019 single in which Snoop collaborated.

“Me Gusta” followed with Cardi B on video to contribute her part. And when for the third song, “Faking Love,” Anitta brought out the singer-rapper Saweetie to do her part on the 2021 English-language single, well, it was perfectly clear Anitta didn’t come to mess around. She came to slay.

Her music crosses languages – she sings in Portuguese, Spanish and English – and genres: songs skip from pop to funk to Brazilian rhythms to club beats.

“Girl From Rio” starts with a large piece of the bossa nova classic, “Girl From Ipanema,” before shifting into her original part. “Boys Don’t Cry,” her most recent single is pretty close to a straight-up rock track. “Envolver,” perhaps her biggest hit, feels like its own kind of Brazilian classic.

Add to that a ton of charisma as a performer, some seriously wicked dance moves, and her powerful voice, and it’s no wonder that by the time star DJ Diplo joined her for the final songs of her set the crowd had nearly doubled.
