If your playlists have been feeling a little stale lately, Canetis is here to fix that. His new single “JOANA” is a vibrant, high-energy blend of Brazilian funk and house that already feels like one of his most exciting releases to date. Whether you live for the club, love global sounds, or just want something that instantly lifts your mood, this track has you covered. Here are five reasons you should give “JOANA” a spin.


1. It captures the joy of Brazilian culture in a fresh and authentic way


“JOANA” is bursting with Brazilian rhythm, from its samba-driven percussion to its playful Portuguese vocals. Instead of dipping into the culture at surface level, Canetis fully immersed himself in Brazil’s spirit, language, and community. The result is a track that feels genuine and celebratory, not borrowed.


2. The story behind the song makes it even more charming


At its core, “JOANA” is inspired by a crush on his best friend’s best friend. That spark of real-life longing adds a relatable layer to all the vibrant production. We all know a “Joana” in our lives, the person who steals the room without trying. Canetis takes that feeling and turns it into a dancefloor anthem.


3. The vocals are ridiculously catchy


Portuguese phrases like “A menina mais linda da pista” serve as instant hooks, repeating in a way that stays stuck in your head long after the song ends. The rhythmic shout of “Para Para Para” as the beat drops out brings in the kind of call-and-response energy that feels made for clubs and festivals.


4. The production hits hard in all the right ways


“JOANA” is built for movement. It carries the warmth of Brazilian funk but keeps the tight, clean groove of house music. Whether you are blasting it through headphones or speakers, the track feels alive.


5. It proves Canetis is growing into a truly global artist


Born in Rome, raised in Milan, and shaped by the NYC underground, Canetis has carved out a unique sonic identity that blends cultures. “JOANA” highlights exactly what makes him stand out: a fearless approach to mixing influences and an ability to create songs that resonate across borders.



If you needed a sign to check out “JOANA,” this is it. The track is fun, vibrant, heartfelt, and impossible to sit still to. Turn it up and let it take over your day!
