This article addresses Brazilian country music in order to understand how this musical genre integrated, in its history, certain processes of racialization. Through the analysis of songs, aesthetics and sonority present in the work of some singers, it is intended to develop the argument according to which country music, throughout its origins, developed, albeit in a diffuse way, racialized narratives and aesthetics. However, as with other musical rhythms, the country music,
when modernizing and nationalizing itself, went through a process of “whitening”, a fact that is currently noticeable both in the racial composition of its artists and in the narrative, aesthetic, performance and sonority expression of this musical genre.
