Rock Caipira

Rock Caipira is a Brazilian musical genre that combines traditional folk music from the countryside with rock and roll. It originated in the 1970s and is characterized by its use of acoustic instruments such as the viola caipira (a type of Brazilian guitar), cavaquinho (a small four-stringed guitar), and pandeiro (a type of tambourine). The lyrics often focus on rural life and the struggles of the working class. Rock Caipira is popular in Brazil and has been embraced by many international audiences.
