Editor's note

Pedro Ortaça, the Minas Gerais singer of sertanejo and modão

A Brazilian artist whose 1998 song 'Galo Missioneiro' became a local anthem in his home state.

For a sense of his sound, try 'Galo Missioneiro' first. Then 'Cerne e Pedra de Taipa' gives you the earthy feel he's known for.

Ortaça's music carries the sound of Minas Gerais, where 'Galo Missioneiro' still plays like a regional hymn. He's worked with Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil, and songs like 'Cerne e Pedra de Taipa' show his connection to the land and its stories. His producer Alexandre Fontanetti has shaped many of his recordings.

He started with 'Galo Missioneiro' in 1998, which took off in Minas Gerais. Since then he's recorded other songs like 'Timbre de Galo' and 'Tenteando o Bico da Gansa', keeping to sertanejo and modão styles.
