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 “Madame X” in a duet with Anitta. “Faz Gostoso” 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 33 million views on YouTube alone. Madonna’s version, released on June 14th, has surpassed 10 million streams on Spotify alone, remaining her most popular song on that platform to this day.
