Sertaneja Music’s Young Star Shines on the World Stage
Ana Castela has always been a trailblazer. At just 20 years old, she has achieved what few in her genre have: winning a Grammy. Her album, Boiadeira Internacional (Ao Vivo), earned her the coveted award for Best Sertaneja Music Album in Portuguese at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Miami. This achievement is not only a personal milestone for Ana but also a watershed moment for sertanejo music, a genre that has rarely received international recognition on this scale.
The album is a celebration of Ana’s rural roots, recorded in the culturally rich tri-border region of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This unique location served as both a backdrop and an inspiration, allowing Ana to incorporate the traditional sounds of sertanejo with modern influences. The result is a record that honors her heritage while pushing the boundaries of the genre, making it accessible to a global audience.
Ana’s sold-out tour in Portugal earlier this year showcased her ability to connect with international audiences. Performing to packed venues, she brought the essence of sertanejo to thousands of fans, proving that music truly has no borders. Her performances were not just concerts—they were celebrations of culture, identity, and storytelling.
With 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify and billions of YouTube views, Ana’s digital presence is a testament to her far-reaching influence. Her ability to connect with fans through storytelling and emotional authenticity has made her a beloved figure not just in Brazil but around the world.
Everton Albertoni, her producer at AgroPlay Music, believes this Grammy is just the beginning. “Ana Castela is not just a singer; she’s a movement,” he said. “This award marks the start of a global journey that will redefine sertanejo music for generations to come.”
As Ana looks ahead to 2025, her focus remains on staying true to her roots while continuing to innovate. “Sertanejo music is my identity, and I want to share it with as many people as possible,” she said. With her Grammy win as a launching pad, Ana Castela is set to take the world by storm.
