Tyla filmed the video that became “Shake Ah” in Vidigal, a Rio de Janeiro community, on the night of September 25, 2024, after her Rock in Rio performance. Early reports called it a shoot for a new, unnamed song; after the video’s release, local coverage identified the track and described its party setting and scenes around Vidigal.
Where and when was Tyla’s video filmed?
The shoot took place in Morro do Vidigal, Rio de Janeiro, on Wednesday night, September 25, 2024, shortly after Tyla performed at Rock in Rio. Gshow and Billboard Brasil reported the location and timing while the production was underway or soon afterward. Gshow’s report on the shoot and Billboard Brasil’s coverage place it in the sequence following her festival appearance.

What song was being filmed?
At the time of the first reports, the song had not been named. Gshow relayed a remark Tyla made in a social video posted by Aline Maia: “Essa é minha nova música,” translated as “This is my new song.” That account did not identify the track. Later, the released video was identified as “Shake Ah,” credited with Tony Duardo, Optimist Music ZA, and Ez Maestro. Gshow’s early account and Voz das Comunidades’ post-release coverage document those two stages.
Who was at the shoot?
Gshow reported that Rebecca, Ramana Borba, Aline Maia, Ana Flávia Lobo, and Ella Fernandes were among those present. Rebecca’s participation in the filming did not establish that she sang on “Shake Ah”: Gshow said her role was unclear, leaving open whether she appeared in the video without singing or was also involved on the track. She should therefore be described as an attendee, not a confirmed vocalist.
#1 Best Overall
POPline attributed the shoot’s creative concept to producer and curator Malu Ávila. Ávila described an intended “brazilian core” aesthetic adapted to each invitee’s style, with the feel of a large party in Vidigal. POPline also reported that the production requested Black women among the invitees, that the shoot came together quickly, and that catering served Brazilian dishes. These are details attributed to POPline’s reporting, not independent confirmation of every production decision. POPline’s account of the shoot includes Ávila’s description and Rebecca’s comments about accepting the invitation.
What does the released video show?
Voz das Comunidades, a community news and cultural organization that identifies itself as made by favela residents, described “Shake Ah” as drawing on a party at Laje do Visão, local music and dance, graffiti-covered alleys, and everyday scenes, including Tyla riding a motorcycle. Those are the outlet’s descriptions of the finished video, not a claim that one music video represents all of Vidigal. Its article links to the official video.

Why the timeline matters
The first coverage captured a live production and an unnamed “new song”; it could not yet establish the final title or what the completed video would contain. Post-release coverage connected the shoot to “Shake Ah” and offered descriptions of the finished clip. Keeping those stages distinct avoids treating early speculation about the song or Rebecca’s role as confirmed release information.
