Zé Neto & Cristiano

Zé Neto & Cristiano, one of Brazil’s most successful sertanejo duos, was formed in 2011 in São José do Rio Preto. Their rise to fame began with Ao Vivo em São José do Rio Preto (2016), featuring "Seu Polícia," which catapulted them onto the national scene. In 2018, they solidified their status with Esquece o Mundo Lá Fora, delivering hits like "Largado às Traças" and "Notificação Preferida," both among the most streamed songs of the year. Over the years, the duo consistently released chart-topping albums, including Por Mais Beijos ao Vivo (2020), Chaaama (2021), and Tarja Preta (2022), showcasing their signature blend of emotional ballads and high-energy anthems. Their 2023 album Escolhas featured collaborations with Renato Teixeira, while their project Intenso (2024), recorded in Valinhos, brought together Simone Mendes, Luan Santana, Ana Castela, and Leo Santana. With multiple industry awards, including the Troféu Imprensa and a Latin Grammy nomination, Zé Neto & Cristiano have become a defining force in contemporary sertanejo.
