Brazilian popular music, also known as MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira), is a diverse and rich genre that combines elements of traditional Brazilian music with contemporary styles such as rock, pop, and jazz.

One of the most influential and well-known styles of MPB is samba. Originating in Bahia, Brazil in the early 20th century, samba is characterized by its upbeat rhythms and lively melodies. It quickly spread throughout the country and is now considered a national symbol of Brazil. Bossa nova, which emerged in the 1950s, is another popular style of MPB. It is known for its smooth, relaxed rhythms and sophisticated harmonies. Artists such as Tom Jobim and João Gilberto helped popularize bossa nova and it continues to be a popular genre today.

MPB also incorporates other traditional Brazilian music styles such as forró, funk carioca, and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). MPB is a genre that has its roots in the traditional rhythms and melodies of Brazil, but with a contemporary touch. Often lyrics in MPB address social and political issues, and the songs reflect the realities of the Brazilians.

Some of the most well-known and respected artists in the MPB genre include Tom Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia, Chico Buarque, Elis Regina, among many others. These artists have helped shape the sound of MPB and have had a significant impact on the music industry in Brazil and around the world.
