Unveiling the Multifaceted Anitta: Beyond Her Image
Brazilian pop star Anitta is grappling with the duality of her on-stage persona and her true self as she prepares to release her next album. Anitta, known for her maximalist pop image and unabashed embrace of her sexuality, is also Larissa de Macedo Machado, a shy and introspective individual. She has carefully cultivated the Anitta character for over a decade, but now she seeks a more "normal" life. Anitta's forthcoming album will pay homage to her roots in funk carioca, a sub-genre of hip-hop that emerged in the favelas of Brazil. She aims to uplift creatives from these marginalized communities and be a part of the future of baile funk.
