Description

Seresta music can be purely instrumental or accompanied by singing.^[2]

Seresta is characterized by the amorous and nostalgic atmosphere of a Brazilian serenade with tempo variations. It is common for the genre to alternate between a sequential, expressive, and sentimental melody and a lively waltz with metrical ambiguity.^[3] Seresta is played with instruments like bandolin, acoustic guitar, accordion, flute, and cavaquinho and has a romantic thematic.^[1]
