Ana Bárbara and Mōriah Collaborate on "Supermujeres" Bilingual Track
Ana Bárbara and Mōriah have released a new bilingual song, "Supermujeres," which combines the talents of two prominent Latinx artists. The track's music video is set to launch with Rolling Stone on Monday.
According to Ana Bárbara, the collaboration was sparked by a chance meeting between the two singers in 2016. Both were tasked with performing their respective countries' national anthems at a time when tensions between the U.S. and Mexico were high. "I asked if Ana Bárbara would sing the last line of the Star Spangled Banner with me as a gesture of unity," Mōriah recalled. The audience's positive response to their joint performance was a catalyst for their friendship and eventual collaboration.
Mōriah, who released an English version of the song called "Superwoman" earlier this year, wrote "Supermujeres" about a woman who dares to dream and protects her sense of wonder in a world that often tries to silence it. "Strength isn't just how a woman loves her family or community," Mōriah said. "It's also about being brave enough to be different."
The song's bilingual nature reflects the growing demand for Latinx representation in music. Ana Bárbara noted, "We're living in a time where there's more awareness of the importance of language and culture." The collaboration aims to bridge cultural divides and promote unity among Latinx communities.
Background on the artists is essential to understanding their perspectives. Ana Bárbara has been a prominent figure in Latin American music for over two decades, while Mōriah has gained recognition with her unique blend of pop and R&B styles.
In addition to the song's release, fans can expect more from the collaboration. "We're planning on performing 'Supermujeres' live soon," Ana Bárbara said. "It will be a celebration of our friendship and the power of music to bring people together."
The success of "Supermujeres" has sparked interest in the Latinx community, with many praising the song's message of empowerment and unity. As Mōriah noted, "This collaboration is not just about two artists coming together; it's about creating a movement that celebrates the strength and resilience of women everywhere."
