For "Toy Story 5", João Gomes re-records "Amigo Somos Aqui"

Disney and Pixar released a new version of "Amigo Isso Aqui", this time in the voice of João Gomes, in a forró version. For the song that celebrates friendship, the singer from Pernambuco called two childhood friends for the music video, Jeovanny and Pedro.

The music video was recorded at Disney Hollywood Studios, in Florida, at Toy Story Land, and at Pixar studios, in addition to featuring excerpts from the new film. "Our imagination takes us to a new world. A world of our own. Just like in Toy Story, did those old toys of mine go around when I wasn't there?", begins the new version.

João's childhood friends Pedro and Jeovanny also participate in the recording, a duo that accompanied him at the beginning of his singing career.

The original version, "You've Gotta a Friend in Me", was released in 1995 with the voice of Randy Newman, at the time for the soundtrack of the franchise's debut title. In the same year, Zé da Viola reinterpreted the song in Portuguese titled "Amigo Isso Aqui", and also recorded two more songs for the franchise: "Coisas Estranhas" and "Voar Eu Não Vou Nunca Mais".

The sequel "Toy Story 5" returns with the story of Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the other toys facing a new challenge: children's addiction to electronic devices.
