Meet Zé do Caroço – the fearless neighborhood announcer who turns his hilltop loudspeaker into a megaphone for hope. From the favela of Morro do Pau da Bandeira, he blasts messages that cut through the blaring TV soap-operas and carnival glitter, reminding everyone of real-world struggles like food prices and fair representation. Anitta and Jetlag’s vibrant remake captures this everyday hero as he rallies his community, dreams of a Carnival rooted in authenticity, and challenges the status quo with every shout.
The chorus repeats “Está nascendo um novo líder” – a new leader is rising – because Zé is more than a voice; he is the spark of collective power. The song celebrates grassroots leadership, community pride, and the unstoppable energy of Brazil’s favelas. As the beat pumps and Anitta’s vocals soar, you feel the call to action: listen up, look out for each other, and never underestimate the power of one person with a message and a microphone.
