You can trace a lineage from that German (?) cheese to Brazilian música sertaneja (country music), as in "Rumo À Goiânia" (Road to Goiânia), this rendition by Leonardo and Zezé di Camargo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEjGy20QQHk
My parents moved to one of the referenced towns, Uberlândia (Land for All) in the mid-1950s, and then to Goiânia itself later on. (Then Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Brasília. "Home" though always was Phoenix, AZ.)
One of the comments there: "Sem dúvida, é considerado um hino para os brasileiros, principalmente para população do Nordeste." ... "Without doubt, [this song] is considered a Hymn for Brazilians, especially for those in the Northeast [region of Brazil]." Northeastern Brazil lives through seven- or fourteen-year cycles of some rain then long drought, leading to many since the 1980s moving to big cities elsewhere in the country.
