Brazilian Singer Anitta

Anitta es una de las cantantes más populares en la actualidad en Brasil.

What’s up, my friends! Have you been listening to Brazilian music lately? Today we will talk about the Brazilian Singer Anitta. Do you know her?

Brazilian Singer Anitta

Larissa de Macedo Machado was born on March 30, 1993 in Rio de Janeiro. Known as Anitta, she started as MC Anitta and changed her artistic name for this most recent one. She is a Brazilian funk singer who started her career by the end of 2012 and got the spotlights in 2013 with the hit “Show das Poderosas” that ruled the Brazilian music parades for several weeks. Let’s take a look at it:

Anitta’s First Hit

Who is Anitta?

She began her career at 8 years old singing in the choir of a church in Rio de Janeiro by the influence of her grandparentsAt 11 years old, with some money that she got from his parents, she decided to take English classes. She later received dance lessons provided by her mother’s instructor. At 16, she finished a course in administration at a technical school in Rio de Janeiro. A year later, she decided to pursue an artistic career. That same year, she was the winner of the Revelation of Music award from his neighborhood.

The interesting thing about Anitta is that in the beginning of her career, many people thought she would be just one more ‘one hit wonder’, people used to think like that because a lot of other funk singers showed up with funk hits but they vanished with the same speed that came up. She could prove that everybody was wrong and with talent, she kept rising up with more hits that are really popular in Brazil, being able also to reach an international career performing with other popular singers such as the Colombian singer Maluma. This is special because it was only possible with old and classic Brazilian artists, such as Tom Jobim and Carmen Miranda, let’s see a video with her performing with a foreigner artist:

Anitta has stablished herself as a music and also feminine Brazilian icon since many girls have her as a role model to work hard and have anything they want in life. Nowadays, besides her success, she also leads a parade during carnival called Bloco das Poderosas, one of the most famous ones at the Carioca Carnival, take a look:

I have been taking online group classes here for about a month. The entire class is in Portuguese so you learn super fast. The class sizes are small and after each class the teacher evaluates you, so you learn at your own pace. All the teachers I've had are super enthusiastic and encouraging. You're also put in a WhatsApp group to practice and there are extra online activities which are super fun. I both laugh and learn a ton in my classes. I highly recommend this school and I hope someday in the future I can visit in person!

I had a lovely time with the teachers and my fellow students during the classes and the activities the school provided. They push you to speak as much Portuguese as possible during and outside the classes. This made it possible for me to start smal conversation after one week!!! Thank you very much for all the fun and teachable moments! “Eu gosto Rio and Learn!”

Rio & Learn is a one stop shop for learning Portuguese while enjoying the amazing Carioca lifestyle. The teachers and the staffs are very accommodating and they always encourage you to speak and immerse in the language. The immersion classes would take you on amazing journeys to local historic spots of the city while keeping you extra fit. Highly recommend!!!

E ai pessoal! Rio & Learn fue una experiencia maravillosa. En la escuela tuve clases muy interesante que mezclan temas gramaticales con conversación de una forma muy bien planificada. Adicionalmente, las actividades programadas por la escuela en la tarde y los fines de semana son muy divertidas y son una extensión de las clases por lo que se puede continuar practicando portugués en un escenario más pragmático. Complementario a esto, los profesores son muy buenos y tienen mucho ánimo y disposición para enseñar, preocupándose de que el estudiante aprenda ya sea en un entorno individual o grupal; debido a que el profesor que dicta la clase cambia con cierta frecuencia uno tiene la posibilidad de desarrollar más la habilidad de escucha con los diferentes acentos y dinámicas de cada uno. Finalmente, como solo traveler es el lugar ideal para hacer amigos en clase y pasar un buen rato con las actividades de RioLive mientras conoces Rio y practicas el idioma objetivo así que es una excelente combinación. Recomiendo completamente, amé mi experiencia, cree amistades para toda la vida y mejoré mi portugués tal como quería, superó mis expectativas con creces.

I highly recommend Rio and Learn, especially as a solo-traveler. You will make so many friends from the classes and have a lot of support from teachers as well. The group classes are quite great and allow you to maximize your time in the city. I love how you spend the first half of the day focusing on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary and then afterwards you actually apply it while visiting some of the coolest places in Rio.
