Abstract

This work presents a summary of the life and career of the singer, composer and viola caipira player Tião Carreiro (José Dias Nunes, 1934– 1993). Through the musical analysis of his extensive discography and the research of his biography – from the start of his music career through his entry into and impact on the sertanejo scene in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties – we seek to understand how extensively the artist used the traditional caipira musical matrices, genres and languages, and how he reconciled these with other tendencies and genres related to the interests of the market and the phonographic industry.
