Tecno brega or technobrega (technotacky) is a form of music from northern Brazil, particularly Belém, Pará.[1] Music of the genre is created primarily through remixing and reworking songs from popular music and music from the eighties.[2] While there is a large amount of famous music used in tecno brega, the majority of it is original material (80%).[2] Several DJs and music producers from the tecno brega movement were featured in the peer-to-peer filesharing documentary Good Copy Bad Copy.[3]
