, south triangle and miners, Goias and Mato Grosso southeast. At the time of these pioneering recordings, the genre was known as country music, whose lyrics evoke the lifestyle of the inner man (often in opposition to man's life in the city) and the bucolic beauty of the landscape and romantic countryside (currently This type of composition is classified as "country music roots ", with emphasized words in daily life and manner of singing).
Beyond Cornelius Pires and his "Gang Caipira", stood out in this trend, even recording at a later time, double Alvarenga and Ranch, and Florencio Torres, Tonic and Tinoco, Vieira and Vieirinha, among others, and popular songs like "Sergio Forero, "Cornelius Pires," The Shrimp Bonde "Cornelius Pires and Mariano," Hinterland of Orange "by Pires and Ariovaldo" Cabocla Teresa ", by John Pires and Ariovaldo Pacific.

Other names, such as double and Pena Branca Xavantinho, followed the ancient tradition of rustic, while the singer Tiao Carreiro innovated by fusing the genre with samba, coco de roda and lizard.
During the eighties, there was a mass commercial exploitation of the hinterland, coupled in some cases, to a rereading of international hits and even the Young Guard. In this new romantic trend of country music emerged countless artists, almost always in pairs, among which, Trio Parada Dura, Chitãozinho & Xororó, Leandro & Leonardo, Zeze Di Camargo e Luciano, Chrystian Ralph, John Paul & Daniel, Chico Rey & Parana, João Mineiro and Marciano, Gian and Giovani, Rick & Renner, and Gilmar Gilberto, and the singers Roberta Flack and Nalva Aguiar.
