As they say, "nada" means nothing in both Spanish and Portuguese.
The song "Mas que nada", though, is not Spanish, it is Portuguese. (As you mention Brazilian). It means the equivalent of "come on" or "no way".

The Portuguese word mas is not the same as the Spanish mas - that is equivalent to mais in Portuguese.

The only one who's right here is Beardo, nada means in both languages nothing, but the song is in portuguese. "mas que nada" means something like "come on".

Nada means "nothing" in Spanish. Maybe even Portuguese. (that's Brazilian) ;)

In Spanish "nada" means "nothing". "Mas que nada" means "more than nothing". One expression that would be good to know is "de nada". If you say thank you to a Spanish speaking person, the person might answer you by saying "de nada", which means: you´re welcome, it´s alright or don´t mention it for instance. Hope I could help you.

Nada is the word for "nothing".
Más que nada is the idiom for "more than anything".
