MPB stands for Música Popular Brasileira, which translates to Brazilian Popular Music in English. It is a genre that emerged in Brazil in the late 1960s and 1970s, combining elements of traditional Brazilian music, such as samba and bossa nova, with international influences, including jazz and rock. The genre is characterized by its rich harmonies, intricate melodies, and poetic lyrics, which often touch on social and political issues.

Some of the most popular artists of the MPB genre include Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, and Djavan. Chico Buarque is known for his socially conscious lyrics and political activism, while Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil are credited with helping to popularize the tropicalismo movement, which blended Brazilian and international music styles.
