In a transition phase for the sertanejo scene, marked by the rise of piseiro and fusions centered on electronic beats and a party atmosphere, the duo Monzani & Miguel is investing in what they call “roots college sertanejo”. The project speaks directly to fans who look for sertanejo with soul and a strong traditional identity. [1]
The duo recently recorded their first DVD, titled “Uma Nova História”, and has been working on the release of singles featuring special guests from the sertanejo scene, announcing a new hit to the audience as part of this strategy. With original repertoire and collaborations, Monzani & Miguel aims to reconnect with listeners who value authenticity, acoustic guitar and melodies that tell stories. [1]
“Estamos trabalhando bastante para oferecer ao público música boa e muita diversão. Queremos que este final de ano seja acompanhado de um bom hit sertanejo, como um compromisso que temos com aqueles que nos acompanham e com a música brasileira. Tenho certeza que o público vai curtir essa nossa fase”, says Monzani. [1]
Recent releases and collaborations
Among the duo’s recent releases is the track “O que a lua já viu”, featuring João Gustavo e Murilo, a duo from Mato Grosso do Sul that gained national recognition in 2019 with the hit “Lençol Dobrado”. The song strengthens Monzani & Miguel’s connection with prominent names of the contemporary sertanejo scene. [1]
Another highlight already available on major streaming platforms is “Balança e Toma”, featuring the duo Rafa & Júnior, also from Mato Grosso do Sul. The most recent release is “Zezé Compôs”, in collaboration with Vitor Pessaia, which directly references classic icons of the genre. [1]
“Essa música é uma homenagem a uma das mais importantes duplas sertanejas do Brasil. A música ‘É o amor’, do Zezé di Camargo & Luciano, e que faz parte do refrão da música, é um grande hino sertanejo, e a gente quis referenciar ela justamente para o público relembrar esse grande sucesso”, says Miguel.

“Malícia de Cowboy” and next steps
To move forward with their consolidation in the sertanejo market, Monzani & Miguel announced the single “Malícia de Cowboy” as their next major bet. Scheduled for release by the end of 2025, the track is set to reinforce the duo’s image as representatives of an “updated roots sertanejo”, respectful of tradition yet in tune with contemporary sounds.

The duo is preparing a robust launch, including strong presence on streaming platforms and social networks, as well as a music video designed to engage the audience that follows this new phase of their career. [1]
“Estamos apostando nessa música e preparando não só um grande lançamento nas plataformas de streamings e nas redes sociais, mas também um videoclipe que o público vai gostar. Agora também estamos apostando num trabalho mais direcionado, com grandes profissionais ao nosso lado. Em breve, o público vai poder prestigiar tudo isso, e a nossa expectativa é que 2026 comece com o pé direito”, the duo concludes, noting that they have recently professionalized their career with management by Anverso Agência.
