Sertanejo Universitario

Sertanejo universitario is a subgenre of Brazilian music that emerged in the 1990s and gained widespread popularity in the 2010s.

Vocals are typically heartfelt and emotive, with lyrics focusing on love, relationships, and everyday life. Rooted in the rural traditions of sertanejo music, universitario added a youthful, urban twist, appealing to a new generation of listeners. This genre's cultural significance lies in its ability to bridge rural and urban Brazil, creating a shared musical identity.

Notable for its polished production and radio-friendly sound, sertanejo universitario has become a staple of Brazilian popular music, with its artists frequently topping charts and selling out shows.
