Sérgio Reis in Sete Lagoas

Sérgio Reis is a Brazilian singer and actor, born in São Paulo in 1940, whose music ranges from Jovem Guarda pop to traditional sertanejo. He became known through “Coração de Papel” before building a country repertoire that includes “O Menino da Porteira,” “Panela Velha” and “Pinga Ni Mim.” Sérgio Reis has performed at the Festa do Peão de Barretos, where sertanejo is central to the programme. In the 2010s, he and Renato Teixeira also presented their Amizade Sincera collaboration in concert, drawing on the rural songbooks associated with both performers and their recordings together.
