Being able to represent that to the world will be an honor.\u201d Read the exclusive interview below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>How did the invitation to sing the National Anthem at the NFL event in S\u00e3o Paulo come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe invitation came through Kley Tarcitano, an artistic director who currently works in the United States and collaborates with the NFL, along with Maria Garcia, who works with the NFL and the halftime show in the U.S. and worldwide. I said yes right away! The NFL is a global event, and I was very happy to be invited to their first game in Brazil. Singing the National Anthem is always a unique moment, especially at an event of this magnitude. Representing my country is incredible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Can you give more details about what you\u2019re preparing for your performance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe performance of the National Anthem always comes with great expectations. I\u2019ve been singing since I was a child, and I always sing along with all the other Brazilians during important moments in our history, at games, and in celebrations. The anthem is always emotional because it brings our roots, our homeland, and being able to represent that to the world will be an honor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>In the United States, there is a strong connection between pop music and sports, particularly with American football. How do you see this playing in Brazil?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tI believe entertainment and sports always succeed together. I\u2019ve always followed the Super Bowl finals, the incredible shows that happen every year, and I\u2019m very happy to be part of this moment here in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Regarding the audience here in Brazil, do you think being part of this historic NFL event could also introduce you to a new audience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt always adds value. Being able to perform and sing for new audiences is important for all artists. Music is very vast in Brazil, and having this kind of representation is relevant for any artist\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Do you believe that this performance could also bring international exposure to your career? Is that an important point for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYes. I\u2019ve already been more present abroad, and this is a very important exposure. But above all, representing my country to the world is the greatest honor I can have as an artist. I\u2019m very happy with the invitation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/latin\/luisa-sonza-nfl-game-brazil-interview-1235757854\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lu\u00edsa Sonza has been announced as one of the attractions for the historic first regular-season NFL game that will take place in Brazil.
