Intro

MPB

Also known as Música Popular Brasileira, MPB was formed in the late 60s as a modernized form of Bossa Nova and Samba-Cancao. MPB encompasses many non-Brazilian styles of popular music (i.e. American rock/pop/folk/jazz) while retaining its distinct Brazilian identity, partially with use of Portuguese lyrics.

Parents	Pop	Popular music, for lack of a better term. Consists almost entirely of short-to-medium length songs, with heavy use of verse-chorus structures and a strong emphasis on melodicism and catchiness. Has no singular sound - often incorporates the popular sounds of the day (thus pop was synonymous with rock through the 60s, picked up elements of EDM in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and often features trap beats in the late 2010s). UMG's bread and butter.
