Luar do Sertão
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luar do Sertão (Hinterlands Moonlight in English) is a popular Brazilian song. Its verses are simple and naive praising the life in sertão. Sertão is a Portuguese word for hinterlands, countryside or outback. It was originally a coco under the title "Engenho de Humaitá" (Humaitá's mill). [1] Catulo da Paixão Cearense argued to be the unique composer of the song, however, nowadays the credit is given to João Pernambuco (1883-1947). It is one of the most recorded Brazilian songs of all time.[2][3]
