Sertanejo on ukulele
Sertanejo on ukulele: the progressions pop axis (I–V–vi–IV) and caipira (Brazilian country) (I–IV–V), each with audio on its own page. Brazilian styles are not the ukulele's home turf: it can carry a gentle bossa nova, but the percussive drive of samba, choro and pagode asks for more bite and low-end punch than its soft nylon strings can give.
The soundtrack of Brazil's countryside, sertanejo lives on emotional melodies and duet vocals about love, longing and simple living. Here you can browse two paths within the genre: the pop axis, in other words the modern radio-friendly branch, and the classic caipira style, the traditional root it all grew from.
