Brega (music)

Brega (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɾɛɡɐ]) is a subgenre of Brazilian popular music. However, its musical aesthetic has been somewhat difficult to define because there is no proper "brega" musical rhythm. As a result, the term is widely used to refer to popular romantic music with dramatic exaggeration, usually dealing with topics such as declarations of love, infidelity, and delusions about love. The term is also used in a pejorative way to refer something that is cheesy, tacky, and unfashionable.
