This outtake from a February 2026 magazine story about the country music boom in Brazil features Rubya Rodrigues Rocha, 20 (left) and Bruna Braga Maia 22 (right), two "princesses" of the 2025 ExpoAgro in Cuiabá, Brazil. The combined agricultural fair and music festival takes place annually in Brazil. Today, Brazil's most dominant style of music is called sertanejo, which combines folk and country elements with the spirit of Brazilian agriculture. Fans flock to ExpoAgo each year to see their favorite sertanejo singers perform.
