Coachella got off to a nice start yesterday with performances from Big Sean, Jhene Aiko, Cordae, City Girls and more. One of the stand out performances came from Brazilian singer Anitta.
Anitta rocked the stage yesterday with a show stopping debut which featured rapper Saweetie.
Her highly-anticipated Coachella debut on Friday (April 15) paid homage to her Brazilian roots and culture for the duration of her 45-minute set.
