Captain Planet Drops Brazilian Disco Funk Single
“Moqueca”
ft. Zuzuka Poderosa & Raphael Futura
Zuzuka Poderosa is back with a sizzling new single, “Moqueca,” a Brazilian disco funk anthem created in collaboration with global beatmaker Captain Planet and producer Raphael Futura. Featured on Bastard Jazz Recordings, the track blends 70s-style funk with futuristic grooves, bubbling basslines, and live horns from longtime collaborator Todd Simon.
Zuzuka brings the heat with vocals that celebrate the rich cultural roots of Moqueca — a beloved Brazilian fish stew — tracing its flavors from Espirito Santo to Bahia. With her signature energy and bold delivery, she turns this culinary icon into a dancefloor-ready tribute to Brazilian music, food, and identity.
“Moqueca” is the first single from Captain Planet’s EP, Sounds Like Home — and Zuzuka’s presence makes it unforgettable.

‘Zuzuka Poderosa Takes Control’
“The themes of her songs are classically those of a street storyteller: sex, weed, and beats that make you dance. Even though most of her audience does not speak Portuguese, these themes get across through her composed gesticulations, her treasure chest of facial expressions, and her well-timed interjections: “Damelo!” “I just want to go wild tonight!” “Let the weed buuurn”, and “Are you into Carioca Bass?” all purred and roared in between Portuguese bars rapped in the typical Baile Funk cadence.”
