6 musical partnerships between Brazilian and North American artists

In recent years, we have seen more and more musical partnerships between Brazilian artists and American singers. These partnerships have become a popular way to unite different musical styles and reach new audiences.
One of the most notable partnerships in recent years was between Anitta and Madonna. The singers released the song "Faz Gostoso", which was originally a Brazilian hit of the 90s, but got rebooted with the participation of Madonna. 
Another successful collaboration was between Sérgio Mendes and Black Eyed Peas. They recorded the song "Mas Que Nada", which became a great international success, providing Mendes with a return to the world music scene.
Taylor Swift and Paula Fernandes also joined in a musical partnership. The American country singer and the Brazilian country star sang the song "Long Live", which was a great success in Brazil and the United States.
Caetano Veloso and David Byrne also made an iconic musical collaboration in 2004, when the artists held a live performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. The presentation brought several hits from Veloso, Byrne and his band, Talking Heads and was a great milestone in their careers.
American jazz saxophonist Stan Getz partnered with João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim, which ended up spreading the Brazilian musical movement known as bossa nova around the world.
And to close off this list, a historic meeting took place when Michael Jackson and Olodum teamed up in 'They Don't Care About Us'. The recording of the music video was made in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, becoming a wide-spread event in the country.
These musical collaborations demonstrate the importance of music as a way to unite different cultures and create bonds between different countries and musical styles, as well as their ability to transcend language barriers. 
In addition, partnerships can help introduce new musical genres in different countries, helping the culture to be even more diverse and eclectic.
