Not so long ago, Luan Santana was just a “boy who knew how to sing” in his hometown Campo Grande, a small state capital in Brazilian Midwest. At that time, people used to call him “gurizinho” (“little boy”, in Portuguese), because of his precocious talent. Cut back to December of 2010 and we found that same country boy – now more of a full-formed man – being catapulted to the center of an enormous stage in one of Rio de Janeiro’s biggest venues. The crowd is far beyond wild. They scream as if that was the last moment they will be able to scream in their entire lives.
Meteoric. It’s kind of ironic that the best way to describe Luan’s rise to stardom can be quoted from the song that made it happen. Released in September of 2009, “Meteoro” quickly spread through radio airplay, going massive a few months later when his second album was finally out. On the months that followed, hit after hit, Luan Santana became not only the biggest star in Sertanejo (a genre that mixes Brazilian countryside rhythms with pop-flavored American country that has been the best-selling genre in Brazil since the 90s), but Brazil’s biggest star.
