For those who don't know, the term “feminejo” comes from the combination of the words feminine + sertanejo and arose to name the new (and wonderful) wave of female singers who are making great success in the genre. Female talent has finally been properly recognized; proof of this is that voices like Marília Mendonça and Maiara and Maraisa occupied the second and third place on Spotify in 2016, just behind the diva Rihanna.

Next, check out on the 7MBoots website the women who are shining in national sertanejo.

1- Maiara & Maraisa

The twin sisters have always dreamed of living from music, and their plans began to become a reality in 2013 when they released the song “No Dia do Seu Casamento,” which exploded on the radio and YouTube. Two years later, the girls recorded their first DVD in the city of Goiânia, which featured various special appearances such as the duo Jorge and Mateus, Marília Mendonça, Cristiano Araújo, and Bruno and Marrone. Until then, the duo's biggest hit is “10%,” which is part of the soundtrack for every cowboy or cowgirl in love with sertanejo.

2- Simone and Simaria

Sisters Simone and Simaria began their careers in forró but soon transitioned to sertanejo. Known in the Northeast as the “Queens of Suffering,” the duo decided to pursue a career in sertanejo as a way to honor their father, who has always been passionate about the style. The success of the singers is so great that they currently perform about 25 shows a month and have more than 24 million views on their YouTube channel.

3- Gabriela and Raphaela

Another duo formed by sisters, Gabriela and Raphaela are from Lupionópolis in Paraná and started early in the world of music, always motivated by their family's musical background. This is because their grandfather and father were in bands, while their mother sang in the choir. Currently, the stars are recognized throughout the national territory. Among the duo's biggest hits are “Moreno,” “A Gente se Enrosca,” and “Se For Pra Vir.”

4- Thaeme

The female voice of the duo Thaeme & Thiago began her career early; at the age of 7, the singer was already performing in the church choir and at some events in the interior of Paraná with her sister, Priscilla. In adulthood, Thaeme graduated in pharmacy and won the Idols program on SBT. After winning the competition, the sertanejo singer studied theater and, in 2011, partnered with Fernando & Sorocaba to sing alongside Thiago.

5- Bruna Viola

Completely fascinated by the sertanejo universe, the artistic name “Viola” was inspired by Inezita Barroso and Tião Carreiro, artists whom Bruna has listened to since childhood and considers true idols. The first recognized work in music came in 2015 when she released the album “Sem Fronteiras.” Known for being an advocate of the more traditional sertanejo style, Bruna presents beautiful songs and successfully partnered with the duo César Menotti & Fabiano.
