Brega (music)

Brega (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɾɛɡɐ]) is a genre of Brazilian popular music. However, its definition as a musical aesthetic has been somewhat difficult, because there is not a musical rhythm properly "brega". The term is widely used to refer to popular romantic music with dramatic exaggeration or ingenuity, usually dealing with topics such as declarations of love, infidelity and love delusions. The term is also used in a pejorative way to defines what is tacky and unfashionable.
