Claudia Leitte introduces the “Feira de Especiarias” concept for Carnival 2026 and confirms a show at Oba Festival in Votuporanga on Feb. 16.
Claudia Leitte is entering Carnival 2026 with a special season theme. Titled “Feira de Especiarias” (“Spice Market”), the concept points to a blend of sensations and cultural diversity that define her musical path. In addition, it uses the metaphor of aromas, colors, and flavors to express how different rhythms mix within her repertoire.
The theme arrives amid the run of shows leading into Carnival. During this period, the artist is also releasing tracks designed for the holiday’s energy. In this way, the recently released song “Vuco Vuco” is positioned as part of her 2026 setlist.
Setlist and sensory concept
According to the release, “Vuco Vuco” was created to capture the spirit of the streets and the energy of large crowds. The track also aims to strengthen the artist’s connection with fans. Thus, the song supports the broader construction of her Carnival season repertoire.
The “Feira de Especiarias” concept reflects the mix of influences throughout Claudia Leitte’s career. In addition, it celebrates different expressions of Brazilian identity and frames music as a collective meeting point. In this manner, the idea suggests a Carnival that activates the senses through shifting colors, rhythms, and emotions.

On February 16, Claudia Leitte will be one of the headliners at Oba Festival 2026 in Votuporanga, São Paulo. The show is part of an event billed as the largest Carnival in São Paulo’s countryside. In addition, the performance is expected to feature a set built for the holiday mood and aligned with her new theme.
