Ornitorrincos do Sertão

**Ornitorrincos do Sertão** is a Brazilian musical collective hailing from the Northeastern region, known for their inventive fusion of traditional *sertanejo* rhythms with modern rock, electronic, and experimental sounds. Their name—a playful nod to the platypus ("ornitorrinco") and the arid backlands ("sertão")—reflects their quirky, genre-blending approach. They incorporate regional instruments like the *zabumba*, *triangle*, and accordion alongside gritty guitars and synths, creating a sound that’s both rooted in tradition and wildly eclectic. Recent singles like *"Guerreiro"* and *"Senhora"* showcase their knack for storytelling, often highlighting themes of resilience, cultural identity, and the complexities of life in the sertão. With DIY aesthetics and energetic live performances, they’ve carved out a niche in Brazil’s alternative scene, appealing to fans of boundary-pushing regional music.
