MPB
Música Popular Brasileira
Música Popular Brasileira, or MPB, literally "Brazilian Popular Music", designates a trend in post-
Bossa Nova urban popular music. It is not a discrete genre but rather a constellation that combines original songwriting and updated versions of traditional Brazilian urban music styles like
samba and
samba-canção with contemporary influences, from
folk to
rock and
pop. Signifying much more than the sum of the three words would indicate, "MPB" is a contemporary trend that has brought the world many renowned Brazilian artists. The term can mean either any kind of music with Brazilian origins or a voice and guitar style that arose in the late
1960's.
