Shakira and Anitta Team Up for First Time on Single "Choka Choka"

Lebanese-Colombian superstar Shakira and Brazilian pop star Anitta are joining hands for the first time on the single “Choka Choka”.

The artists announced the collaboration on Instagram along with the single artwork, depicting the two South American superstars on a tarot card, each covered in nothing but a large feather.

“You have no idea how happy I am to announce this collaboration from my album EQUILIBRIVM,” Anitta captioned in Spanish.

Shakira also shared her excitement around the new song.

In an Instagram Story repost of the album cover, Shakira wrote in Portuguese — notably switching languages with Anitta — that she was feeling emotional and they "don’t know the music we have together.”

In a follow-up video on her story, she continued in Portuguese, calling the song “incredible” and noting that fans are going to love it.

Released on Thursday, “Choka Choka” is the second single from Anitta’s upcoming album "Equilibrium," set to come out on April 16.

The album’s lead single, “Pinterest,” was released last month. "Equilibrium" is the Brazilian singer’s seventh studio album.

Since her debut album in 2013, Anitta has become a global force for Brazilian music. She has performed at major music festivals and events, including Coachella, Lollapalooza Paris, and Billboard Latin Women in Music.
