Caipira pagode

Caipira pagode (in Portuguese: pagode caipira; also known as pagode de viola and pagode sertanejo), is a variant of Caipira music originating in the state of Paraná.^[1] Caipira pagode, also known as pagode de viola or pagode sertanejo, is a subgenre of Brazilian caipira music that emerged in the state of Paraná. It was developed in 1959 by musician Tião Carreiro in the city of Maringá, in collaboration with Lourival dos Santos. This style evolved from the catira rhythm and is characterized by a distinctive interplay between the viola caipira (a ten-string guitar) and the acoustic guitar, often featuring a syncopated rhythm known as "recortado." The genr; is commonly accompanied by the "cipó preto" rhythm, which can be executed on either the viola caipira or the guitar. Notable compositions in this style include "Pagode em Brasília," "Jangadeiro Cearense," and "A Viola e o Violeiro." Caipira pagode is distinct from the samba-derived pagode genre that originated in Rio de Janeiro.^[2][3]
