Sertanejo tradicional, also known as "sertanejo de raiz," is a Brazilian music genre rooted in the rural life and customs of the countryside, particularly in the regions of the Brazilian hinterland. Characterized by its storytelling, the genre often reflects the struggles and joys of rural existence, enveloped in a melancholic yet comforting nostalgia. Incorporating acoustic instruments like the viola caipira (a Brazilian ten-string guitar), accordion, and occasionally the fiddle, its sound is both simple and evocative. Traditional sertanejo vocal styles range from solo performances to harmonious duos, often featuring a distinctively plaintive and emotive delivery. This genre preserves Brazil's rural musical heritage, serving as a timeless narrative of the agrarian heart of the country.
