«Eletromelody is a definite progression for Tecnobrega, moving away from the romantic themes to talking about the parties, going crazy, the aparalhagems. The sound is faster and heavier with more pronounced bass. This track has a great production, some very appealing ravey sounds and a certain European electro house influence, if you listen carefully there’s some mad sounds going on in the background.»

Tecno brega or technobrega (Cheesy Techno) is a form of music from northern Brazil, particularly Belém. It is created primarily through remixing and reworking songs from popular music and music from the eighties.

Below the Trailer and the various Episodes of the Tecno Brega Documentary Brega S/A:
