It's a message that I should keep doing it.
00:02
I should keep going and doing what I'm doing with the girl.
00:14
Yeah.
00:17
This song, the first idea was when I stargate the producers
00:21
they brought this sample of girl from Ipanema and it's such
00:25
an iconic music like for Brazil for Rio de Janeiro.
00:29
And I thought that was genius because that would bring to Brazil
00:32
like this other momento, they had like a very good moment for
00:36
Brazilian music with a girl from it was good for Brazilian
00:39
for Rio.
00:40
So we decided that on Go from Rio, we are going to talk about
00:43
Rio de Janeiro under my perspective because in go from Ipanema
00:46
it's a lot about the Rio de Janeiro girl.
00:49
But this fancy and glamorous Rio, this chic Rio.
00:52
This so and my idea was to talk about the side of which is pretty
00:58
different but also very existent.
01:06
The idea was to bring this Rio de Janeiro from the fifties,
01:10
this glamorous Fancy Chick Rio and break the music video going
01:15
back and forth from that Rio to the Rio that I know which is very
01:18
different.
01:19
So that's why we have like this um very two different types
01:23
of, of Brazil on it.
01:29
For me means like it's a message that I should keep doing it
01:34
I should keep going and doing what I'm doing because, you know
01:36
it's very hard.
01:37
I come from Brazil and uh people I know we are all Latin but the
01:41
language makes like this, this wall between the two cultures
01:46
and for me to insert myself and there's a lot and culture, I
01:49
needed to study very hard and understand a lot about Latin
01:54
culture, about this music.
01:56
So for me to be there in this competition with girls, they are
02:00
born in this reality, in this culture and they are working
02:03
in this like exclusivity to this market.
02:07
For me, it's a lot.
02:13
This album is ready.
02:15
Like since before the pandemic, we had it ready.
02:17
We had girl from ready for a long time.
02:19
But because of the pandemic, we needed to change some plans
02:23
that we had and uh with Girl from the album, I think we're coming
02:28
with the album on the fall.
02:30
We have great music mixing like Brazilian culture with the
02:33
with the type of music there's like famous worldwide like
02:36
with Girl from we mix trap music with the Brazilian sample
02:40
So that's basically what we're doing on the whole album.
02:47
That's where I'm from.
02:48
I don't think it's going to be in the album.
02:50
I don't know, we're still like talking to see about that.
02:53
But the song is the song that I have ready with him is a very Brazilian
02:57
track.
02:58
Like, it's very personal culture from Brazil.
03:01
And uh let's see what happens because it's a very good track
03:05
Hi, everyone.
03:06
It's Anita here.
03:06
