Sertanejo (Brazilian country music) has been established as a musical genre of great popularity, especially since the 1950‟s, when it opened up to different influences, both traditional Brazilian country rhythms from several different regions, and foreign sonorities. Aesthetic and musical references for the constitution of this genre changed during this period with the assimilation of different musicalities like the guarânias, the Paraguayan polkas, the Bolero and Rock and roll. Brazilian country music defined its own patterns and models, shaping the style considered traditional, between the 50‟s and the 70‟s. This music was also to become responsible for the dissemination - and, sometimes, for the construction - of different narrative and musical images of Brazil. It will also play a major role in the constitution and glorification of the past and of a self-portrait of this genre as representative of the Brazilian country music tradition. These images of the past promote either bucolic narratives, the glorification of nature and land, or epic and tragic narratives characterized by heroic models and the presence of violence. Understanding the variations of these images and their aesthetic and musical context is very important to understand worldviews, values, the relationsship between tradition and modernity, cultural and political positions constituting a musical genre of great popular appeal. This appeal especially calls on audiences lacking formal education during these periods of intense shifts and transitions in which the country became more urban than rural. Brazilian country music will act as a sort of soundtrack to a considerable number of the Brazilians who lived during this transition
