Following the announcement of her leading role in upcoming action film LOTUS, Qymira is stepping back into another luminous layer of her creative endeavours. Bringing together music, football, and Brazilian culture, she’s set to return with the vibrant new single “Sacanagenzinha” alongside legendary Afro-Brazilian percussion group Timbalada and former Brazil international Edílson Capetinha, a member of the country’s 2002 FIFA World Cup-winning squad.
Recorded at Carlinhos Brown’s renowned studio in Salvador, Bahia, the track draws on the infectious rhythms of Bahia’s percussion traditions while capturing the celebratory atmosphere that surrounds the world’s biggest football tournament. The collaboration promises an energetic blend of music and sport – designed to unite fans both on and off the pitch.
This sheds a light on Qymira’s growing international reach, pairing her global pop sensibility with some of Brazil’s most iconic musical and sporting figures. With Timbalada’s unmistakable sound and Edílson’s football legacy adding authenticity to the release, “Sacanagenzinha” promises a feel-good soundtrack for World Cup spirit.
As anticipation builds during the ever-competitive tournament, Qymira shines with a special celebration of the unique connection between music, football, and Brazilian culture – colourful, joyous, hopeful, and unifying.
