Militar

Militar is a prominent musical genre that originated in Brazil during the 1960s. Inspired by military anthems and marches, its distinctive sound combines elements of traditional Brazilian music with patriotic and nationalist themes. The genre gained popularity during a politically turbulent period in the country's history when it became closely associated with the military regime that ruled Brazil from 1964 to 1985. Notable artists within the Militar genre include famous singers like Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos, who incorporated its ideological and musical elements into their work. While its popularity declined in the late 1980s, Militar remains an important part of Brazil's cultural heritage, serving as a reflection of the country's complex history and political landscape.
