Irmãs Galvão, also known as "As Galvão," are a beloved Brazilian sertanejo duo formed by sisters Mary Zuil Galvão (1929–2021) and Marilene Galvão (b. 1941). Their musical career began in the early 1940s, when the sisters were only children, under the moniker "As Irmãzinhas Galvão." They earned renown for their pure vocal harmonies and their representation of the traditional sertanejo music genre, which is akin to American country music but has its own unique Brazilian characteristics.

Throughout their illustrious career spanning more than seven decades, the Galvão sisters have released an impressive number of albums, maintaining their cultural relevance and popularity across many generations of Brazilian music lovers. Their discography reflects a deep commitment to the sertanejo genre, with notable albums such as "Cantigas de Minha Terra," which celebrates rural life and customs, and "Luar Do Sertão," which showcases the duo’s ability to evoke the nostalgic essence of the Brazilian hinterlands. Despite the loss of Mary in 2021, the Irmãs Galvão's legacy continues to be felt in the world of sertanejo music, as they have paved the way for numerous other artists and remain an iconic symbol of Brazil’s rich musical heritage.
