Brazilian Music and Poetry 🇧🇷🎶📖
If you happen to be interested in knowing more of Brazilian music, I'll gather all the collections added to LT which cater that subject. It's a start point. Specially because we lack several genres in our lists and some songs are special in some way or another (like the message the lyrics want to convey). Here, I won't add music awards for they not necessarily reflect the richness of our music.
'Feminejo' is a subgroup of Brazilian sertanejo music, led by women and with songs that talk from a woman's point of view, directed at other women - often with a feminist approach. Here you'll find expoents of that genre.

Here you'll find a few sertanejo songs that became standards - with which I mean that most Brazilians know them (or at least part of them).
