Sertanejo music (, is a term used to refer to a musical style of Brazil. For some, it is the folk music of São Paulo, which emerged during the Colonial Brazil, and popularized in the 1920s, Música Sertaneja – Dicionário Cravo Albin da Música Popular Brasileira while others argue that it is a variation or urbanization of Caipira music, which is integrated into Caipira culture.
Sertanejo is the most popular genre in the country, particularly throughout Southern, Southeastern, and Center-western. Since the 1990s, is the most played music genre on Brazilian radio, constantly topping the Brazilian music charts. Additionally, from 2000 to 2003 and since 2009, sertaneja music albums have been granted a specific category at the Latin Grammy Awards. Many sertanejo artists are duos, at times formed by siblings, typically singing vocal harmonies, especially , and employing frequent vibrato. Men have traditionally dominated the scene, although some women such as Paula Fernandes, and Maria Cecília, and Simone & Simaria have achieved mainstream success in the 21st century. A subgenre, called "sertanejo universitário" (college sertanejo), has developed from the mid-2000s on, consisting of a more stripped-down, acoustic-oriented use of the guitars influenced by Western pop music. It has grown very popular among Brazilian youth nationwide and has dominated the sertanejo scene.
During the 1980s, there was a mass commercial exploitation of sertanejo, coupled in some cases, to a rereading of international hits and even the Jovem Guarda's. In this new romantic trend of country music countless artists emerged, almost always in pairs, among which, Trio Parada Dura, Chitãozinho & Xororó, Leandro e Leonardo, Zeze Di Camargo e Luciano, Chrystian & Ralf, João Paulo & Daniel, Chico Rey & Parana, João Mineiro and Marciano, Gian and Giovani, Rick & Renner, Gilberto e Gilmar, Alan e Aladim, along with some female singers, such as Roberta Miranda, Aula Miranda and Nalva Aguiar. Some of the successes of this phase are "Fio de Cabelo", by Marciano and Darci Rossi, "Apartmento 37 ", Leo Canhoto, "Pense em Mim, " Douglas in May, "Entre Tapas e Beijos", Nilton Lamas and Antonio Bueno and "Evidências", by Jose Augusto and Paulo Sérgio Valle.
However, Goiás has not failed to reveal big names on the national scene, it appeared the aforementioned Jorge & Mateus and João Neto e Frederico. Not to mention the artists linked to the more massive sertanejo of the previous decade, as Guilherme & Santiago, Bruno & Marrone and Edson & Hudson. At that time, the artists get the music division, but a good part returns to the Caipira influences of moda de viola. Yet another part follows the trends of the past romantic that is the case of artists like Eduardo Costa e Léo Magalhães. This subgenre is sung, and is more popular with, people attending college (in portuguese: universitários, from " University"), this being the reason behind the name of this variation. This is the style of music played at university parties, like "Ai se eu te pego!" by Michel Teló, who found international success with the genre. This variation of sertanejo has more elements of pop as compared with others. This specific style has found favour internationally. Besides the massive success of "Ai se eu te pego!" on many charts, hits that have found commercial success in Europe and elsewhere include "Bara Bará Bere Berê, "Balada", "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" and "Lê Lê Lê."
Rocked by great popular appeal among the youth of both sexes, the new segment has won a lot of attention in the media. Simple music and lyrics, dance beats, and refrains that are easily memorized automatically, generating a large "boom" in style, causing it to leave the restricted University environment and spread to radios and festivals all over Brazil. The repercussions and success of the genre is seen as every day new duos and sertanejo groups are on the rise.
The lyrics no longer talk only about failed relationships, but also about women, drinking, love affairs, sex, betrayal, ballads, drunkenness, and ostentation and there is influence from genres of Rio de Janeiro, like Funk carioca and samba and pagode. is recognized as one of the disseminators of agronejo in Brazil.]]
The main artists who have stood out in this movement are Ana Castela, Luan Pereira, Léo & Raphael, Fiduma & Jeca, DJ Chris no Beat, Us Agroboy (duo of Gabriel Vittor and Jota Lennon), Bruna Viola and Loubet.
The rhythm attracts fans of sertanejo and those who enjoy more contemporary genres. However, the left-wing newspaper A Nova Democracia stated that "this may be the last stage in the decline of music financed by the old Brazilian Latifundium state. Its relations with Caipira music have completely run their course."
