Duarte Carvalho and Emanuel Oliveira are No Maka, a music production and DJ duo from Lisbon, Portugal. Their moniker means “no problem” in Kimbundu, an African language. Together they create electronic pop music combining sonic elements from distant geographies with a strong Latin and Afro vibe.
Their biggest accomplishment so far? Having a song chosen by Madonna herself and included in #MadameX in a duet with Anitta. #FazGostoso was originally composed for Blaya, a Portuguese singer, and released in 2018 amassing a huge success and reaching double platinum record status in Portugal, remaining five weeks on #1 of the singles chart, being played in the radio nationwide and harvesting over 34M views on YouTube alone. Madonna’s version, released on June 14th, has surpassed 10M streams on Spotify alone, remaining her most popular song on that platform.
