Produced by the consecrated Ellputo, the song stands out not only for its sophisticated instrumental, but also for its lyrics centered on female empowerment and self-affirmation, themes that have been constant in Hernâni's conscious repertoire. The music video was filmed in Portugal by the director Muteruco, giving the work a modern and engaging visual aesthetic.
“Big hug to every woman who felt embraced when listening to/watching this work and I hope to see you on August 23rd”, the artist added, alluding to a possible performance or event scheduled for the end of August.
This milestone reaffirms Hernâni da Silva as one of the most relevant names in contemporary Mozambican music, capable of combining art, message, and consistency over time. "Podes" is more than a song—it's a reflection of resistance, motivation, and recognition of the value of women in society.
