Canetis Impresses With Club Banger “JOANA”

If joy had a soundtrack, it might sound a lot like “JOANA.” The latest single from Canetis, the Italian-born and New York-based producer, is an explosion of rhythm, colour, and charisma. It is the kind of track that doesn’t just play in the background of a night out but becomes the night itself. Mixing Brazilian funk with house energy, Canetis builds something that feels both global and deeply rooted in culture. Every beat, vocal, and synth shimmer carries the warmth of a Rio sunrise and the pulse of a crowded NYC dancefloor.

“JOANA” tells the story of a girl who owns every room she walks into. Through playful Portuguese lyrics, Canetis captures her essence with lines like “Vem pra o clube sozinha” and “A menina mais linda da pista.” She is mysterious, magnetic, and utterly unattainable. The repetition of her name throughout the song turns into a chant, like the crowd calling her name as she dances under flashing lights. Behind the groove is a personal touch too: Canetis wrote the song in Portuguese as a tribute to the Brazilian culture he fell in love with after meeting friends from Brazil and immersing himself in their language and lifestyle. That genuine connection gives the song a kind of authenticity you can feel in every drum hit.

Musically, “JOANA” is built to move people. The percussion snaps, the bassline is thick and irresistible, and the vocals glide over everything with effortless charm. There is a sense of spontaneity that feels rare in modern dance music, as if the song was designed to be experienced live with sweat, movement, and smiles all around. It is celebratory but never forced, rhythmic but never predictable. The balance between its European production polish and the raw funk of its Brazilian influence makes it a standout in Canetis’ growing catalogue.

What makes “JOANA” special is not just its sound, but its spirit. It is a reminder of why people fall in love with dance music in the first place. It brings cultures together, breaks down language barriers, and celebrates the simple joy of being alive in a room full of rhythm. Canetis doesn’t just make you want to dance with this track; he makes you want to live a little louder.
