Former football icon Ronaldinho has officially released his first music album titled “Bruxaria 051”, marking a bold new chapter in his artistic journey.
The album features 22 songs inspired by Brazil’s street culture, showcasing a mix of funk, rap, and trap styles, created in collaboration with artists from Rio Grande do Sul and other Brazilian music stars.

The title “Bruxaria”, meaning “magic,” reflects Ronaldinho’s nickname “The Magician,” while 051 represents the area code of his hometown.

Promoting his album, Ronaldinho wrote:

“Magic turned into music — a dream born in the streets and shaped into art. Between laughter, rhythm, and memories, the crew became a voice for the impossible. Magic is real, and its rhythm is freedom.”

The album stands as a creative experiment for the world champion, who had previously participated in several hit songs including Solteiro de Novo, Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha, and Você Não Vive Sem.

Coinciding with the release, Ronaldinho’s son João Mendes officially signed with Hull City in England’s Championship League. The 20-year-old forward, who previously played for Barcelona’s youth team and Burnley, expressed excitement about the new opportunity, saying that playing across Brazil, Spain, and England has shaped his growth as a footballer.
