Les repentistas de Pernambuco, Paraíba et Rio Grande do Norte sont des poètes populaires qui répondent aux sollicitations du public en chantant des couplets entièrement improvisés. Ils expriment l’attachement des gens du Nordeste brésilien à leur culture et à leur terroir. Dans un contexte d’émigration et d’exode rural, ils portent une nostalgie (« saudade »). Les improvisateurs incarnent l’archétype du migrant, leurs performances contribuant à la perpétuelle redéfinition d’une identité.
