About Sertanejo Day
The Dia do Sertanejo (Portuguese: Sertanejo Day) is a traditional Brazilian event held annually by Radio Aparecida on May 3 as a tribute to Sertanejo, with the custom of "violeiros" (people playing viola caipira) visiting Aparecida, São Paulo, participating in masses, and playing music. However, the event was discontinued in 2018, after 55 years, with only historical tributes and dedicated moments during radio programming. The original idea was adapted to a television version, the Patroness's Land program, on the radio's sister channel.
