Tião Carreiro & Pardinho, a Brazilian sertanejo musical duo, was formed by José Dias Nunes, known as Tião Carreiro, born in Monte Azul, Minas Gerais. Tião Carreiro began playing the acoustic guitar at a young age and later learned the viola caipira while working with his cousin Waldomiro in Giglio Circus. The duo's breakthrough came with their first success "Pagode em BrasÃlia" recorded in 1959. Their discography includes notable albums such as Rei do Gado (1961), Boi Soberano (1966), and A Força do Perdão (1970). Tião Carreiro & Pardinho are credited with inventing the rural Pagode (Pagode Caipira) style.
